Default Integra front/rear sway bars on a ej1

I want to get front/rear integra sway bars for my '93 civic 2dr, but I don't know if they fit on my car? I have Megan racing rear lower control arms and tie brace but what do I need to make the sway bars from a regular integra non type r? I searched the forum but couldn't find any info for this. Does anyone know or have done this before on their ej1?

EX or DX? If you have an EX, the front sway will bolt right up, assuming you have the integra bushings along with the sway bar. You can use the rear sway without needing a brace, because I believe it's only 14mm, which is tiny. If you go anything larger, I'd advise you purchase an ASR or Ramsen subframe brace to guarantee you don't tear your subframe through stress. If you have a DX, purchase 92-95 Civic EX/Si or 94-01 Integra front LCAs and you can run the front sway.

Will the integra front sway bar fit if I have integra bushings/mounting hardware if I have a h22a swap? Is it direct bolt on, or the engine does not matter? Oh btw, my civic is a 93 ex 2dr.

You can use the GSR rear bar without a brace with no trouble. You'll need the brackets that bolt to the subframe to properly mount the bar. GSR rear bars are 14mm, Type R is 22mm and you should use a brace with it. LS is only 12mm so go for the GSR bar. As for the front, the GSR is 24mm and the EM1 is 26mm. I believe yours could be 22mm so either would be an upgrade.

Just F.I.Y. I put a gsr rear on my EJ8 and I can really tell a difference even though it's only a 14mm. The car seems to steer better, I'm sure some of the autocrossers here could explain the math and geometry behind it.

Ok, So What I understand, Even If I have a H22a swap in my civic ex '93, the front GSR Sway bar will fit with no modifications other than the GSR Bushings and Mounting Brackets? Also for the rear I have the Meagan Racing Lower Tie brace, If I get a GSR Rear sway bar, that will also fit with no problem?

Don't know about the h22 swap but the rear tie bar shouldn't get in the way. The brackets for the sway bar mount outside and above the rear inward lower control arm bolts.
