Default End Link and LCAs...

Couldn't get much response from the Integra section so I thought I'd post it in the suspension thread . . .

I am in the process of installing the following parts on my 1994 integra GSR:

Blox LCAs
ASR Subframe Brace
ASR 24mm sway bar
BEAKS lower tie bar

And my problem is : I got the LCAs more or less in place, and I have the subframe brace in place. I then realized that the stock sway bar endlinks will not hold up the sway bar. What endlink set do I need to order that is compatible with the blox LCAs and the 24mm ASR sway bar?

Additionally, where would I order a longer bolt that connects the subframe brace, and LCA pivot point? The added distance from the tie bar and subframe brace does not allow me to screw in the factory LCA pivot point bolt...and i did not receive pivot point screws as additional hardware.
This is what I'm working with . . .

Any adjustable end link and you should be fine. Also for your bolts you just need to pick up the correct size and thread pitch 10.9 grade bolt. I would sell your Beaks bar since it's more of a risk to snag something then help with chassis stiffening. That huge ASR brace should hold up better than that thing anyways.

I think I got that settled...now to solve my other problem ... when installing the lower tie bar...does it bolt onto the front of the subframe brace...through the same hole as shared with the LCA pivot point on the subframe brace? Because it seems as if that bolt will not hold everything together . . .if you know what I mean

yes it shares the same hole. you might have to buy longer bolts like STOCK SOHC DX stated above.

Correct me if I'm wrong but is this the correct size bolt I will need to bolt the LCA, subframe brace, and tie bar together? ...

Metric Hex Bolt Steel Grade 10.9, 10mm x 1.5 x 110mm?

Looking good, I was about to say good job in not going with the Tie bar as it will do nothing for performance. Just get ready to replace those LCA's unless you find bushings that will fit.
