Default Installing integra sways in ej7

Ok I picked up some 2000 integra sway bars for my 97 civic. I know which endlinks I need, just double checking to make sure I am 100% correct.

For front I use my stock hx end links, for the rear I use 99-00 si endlinks. Now are the hardrace endlinks any good for the rear? It's near impossible to find oem used si endlinks. On the stock front hx endlinks is there a bushings kit I can get just for the endlinks?

Is there anything else I need to get to install these? Sway bar brackets, new sway bar bushings? Anything else I should replace while doing the install, I am putting a clutch and new front brakes on also.

I have never done suspension work on any of my cars so I am new to this kinda stuff.

For the sway bar bushings, you can go with a reasonably priced Energy Suspension kit. For the links, why the hell would you try to find used ones? they're cheap enough to buy them new from Honda and guarantee yourself hassle-free installation and good ball-in-socket end.

Depending on what cam with the sway bars, you may need brackets. Only you can tell us.

For the rear run the si, rear sway bar mounts unless integra are the same, order new si endlinks rsx-s one also work running them with my itr rear sway as we speak.

but you may run into an issue with the rear sway and the si endlinks being to short to go through the sway bar bushing like the threads are not long enough.

The sway bars have the brackets guessing from the integra, these are ok to use? Where's the cheapest place to get oem si endlinks?

Majestic honda, however don't need oem

Im runing blox on my front and rear and they are fine
Use the integra d bracket and the bushing
For the bracket that goes to the sub frame I would assume the ek and dc are not the same however I don't know.

The holes on the civic subframe are bigger then the brackets, its approx 11mm which is a bitch and half to find
I used a 10mm and a lock nut. You will need to drill out the hole on the bracket though but it isn't a big deal
