civic = 22mm
LS/GSR/ITR = 24mm (DC2)

yes the Civic Flcas will work fine with the teg sway, all though you will need different end links (from the teg) and bushings (from teg)


one thing to think about, the rear sway does more to the handling on our cars than the front.
If you don't have a rear sway I'd look into that before thinking about bumping up your front. It will do 1000x more than the 2mm front increase. (in fact that will increase understeer, the opposite of what you likely want)

ls should have same endlinks as the civic, it's the gsr and itr that have the different endlinks, which are about $50 a piece

you can see this difference in this diagram http://www.hondapartsunlimited.com/i...&submit=submit

To use the 99-00 civic si sway bar you need 99-00 si front lca's

the sway bar isnt compatable with any other type of lca.

well i fund this info ????

Front Lower Control Arm compatibility:

Civic EX and HX front LCAs should be used when adding or upgrading to:
- 1992-1995 Civic Si
- 1992-2000 Civic EX
- 1994-1997 del Sol DOHC
- 1996-2000 Civic HX
- 1994-2001 Integra LS
- 1994-2001 Integra GSR
- 1996-2001 Integra Type R

Civic Si front LCAs* should be used when adding or upgrading to:
- 1999-2000 Civic Si
- 1997-2000 Civic Type R
If you already have an EX/HX LCA and would like to upgrade to the Civic Si or Civic Type R front bar, you can do so using Integra Type R endlinks documented below.

*Civic Si front shock forks need to be used as well when upgrading to the Civic Si/Civic Type R front lower control arms.

well, that information is new to me. I have never seen anyone use a SI/CTR front sway bar with any other type of lower control arm.

In the picture that is shows the si sway bar with itr endlink, it looks to be hanging under the lca, which i dont like at all.

With my SI front sway bar, i already drag the damn thing over speed bumps, with si lcas.
