I am actually doing the same thing on my EK, so I didn't need aftermarket LCA's, but I just bought the adjustable BLOX endlinks because it was cheaper than OEM replacements and only a few bucks more than the ebay crap ones so I figured...might as well.

BLOX- $38
OEM- about $43 each (L and R)
eBay- $17 + S & H

You have to use adjustable endlinks, because blox lca's dont have the holes in the right spot on eg's.

I have blox adjustable endlinks front and rear on my car, they work good, a bit noisy. But i wouldnt have a problem reccomneding them.

would i feel the difference on my driving when having the rear sway on.i have a 93 civic dx coupe and didnt come with either

front or rear sway so went to local junkyard and got a front sway from their. when i put that one on i felt some what of a difference

This hole-position issue has in itself nothing to do with the choice of endlinks.

The 'displacement' of the hole means the endlink leans relative to the sway, while with an OE hole the endlink sits straight.

Adjustable endlinks are needed because of the endlink mounting hole on aftermarket LCAs is deeper then OE, too deep for OE endlink bolts.

Hmm, I have always seen people say the geometry is wrong, and the holes them selves are in the wrong postiion, and adjustables are needed, however, Im saying what said is wrong, im just going by what they stated, I'll if I can find the thread

You'll feel a good difference, the higher spring rates you run the more of a difference you'll feel. I use to do aot of canyon running (safe canyon running, if there is any haha) and i felt a huge difference after adding on a GSR 14mm rear sway with 10k/8k spring rates on my EJ8.

There may or may not be threaded holes there I don't know, but if the isn't just use a bolt that fits with a lock nut on the back

Yep, except (EDM, JDM, ...)EK4 and EK9 of course (stock swaybar).

The holes are there, but they are not threaded - meaning there's no backing plate with bolts attached to the back of the subframe (as is the case with the EK4).
