Default Just got F&R sway bars. few Q's

So i just picked up a 19mm rear sway from the junkyard today off a 95 4dr. seems to be aftermarket. does anyone kno who the bar could be made by? The endlinks mount to the out side of the LCA with a bracket attached to the bolt, all others i have seen mount to the LCA its self. where could i find endlinks? also i got a sway bar off a si coupe, i think it is about a 21mm. how hard is it to install it?

They mount to a bracket? Post some pics dude, that will really help. Pics are worth 1000 words.

To make the Si sway bar fit, youll need Si end links, LCA's, shock forks, brackets, and bushings. I dont know if it will fit an EG. Also, its a 25mm sway bar.

they're probably ST sway bars. Suspension Techniques. they're the only ones that come to mind that mount to a bracket outside of the normal sway bar link areas that come to mind.

Does your LCA have a hole for the endlink??? You will likely need new LCA's too. For the front as well. Honda made 2 different LCA's.

Pics of swaybar and LCA would be suuuuper.

There are no holes in the LCAs at the junkyard or on mine. Aslo I measured the front bar and it is 21mm. heres a few pics of the rear.







and the brackets

Youre going to need new rear LCA's to attach a sway bar. DX and Si rear LCA's did not have the holes for the sway bar.

thats the rear for the ST bar i was talking about. you need to remove the bolt that holds your strut and that bracket bolts to that.

Those will work with your current LCA's They attach to the lower shock mount bolts. You need to get longer bolts though. And GL geting them out cleanly. Alot of times they are seized int eh LCA bushing and the heads break off.

You alos need to find/make some endlinks.

any ideas on where i could find the just endlinks? i am going to call st tomorrow. would front stock endlinks work? like this one http://www.modacar.com/bolt-on/produ...7817-4964.html
in that link 2 different size endlinks were used? how much did putting the rear bar on ur car help the handling?
