Default ITR front sway bar On 1994 EG cx questions

so i picked up a front sway bar for my eg, it also came with the lower control
arms seeing that i have a cx and would not be able to run a sway bar with my stock lca's
although i dont see where the mounts from the swaybar bolt onto, is their a thread somewhere explaining the install, im basically just lost on where to mount the swaybar from its d links and how the endlinks bolt up to the lca....

Take a look at the back of the lca, where the complance bushing is. Where it mounts to the car will 2 little holes on each side, that is where the d bracket bolts to. Sometimes they can be kind of difficult to see, but they are there.

Remove your stock lower control arm. Use everything you have from the R.

Theres actually 1 stud thats part of the subframe/crossmember and 1 threaded hole for a bolt, at least as far as the '92 - '95s are concerned

Yes you do, I just put a factory sway bar on my '94 sedan last weekend, it just wont fit without dropping the exhaust and shift linkage.

What sway bar do you have to put in the back? Putting a big, beefy sway bar up front with nothing in back is going to create some serious understeer.

94EG8, I did not know that, thank you for adding that.

When i put my front sway bar in, i did by self and it wasnt to much fun, so it is a good idea to have a buddy there.

your setup sounds good.

It wasnt so much that, it was just moving the bar around, trying to keep it up and tighten the d brackets at the same time. It took a me a few hours, becasue i stopped a few times, it was hot and it was pissing me off. My car is a auto and i couldnt figure out how to get that damn cable out, so i had to wiggle the bar around it, not much fun. It was a 99-00 si sway bar and got started to get really heavy after a while.

Sounds like a nice setup. I'd recommend against a front lower tie bar, in favor of an H-brace instead. I've used both pieces, and the H-brace I got from NRG had better steering response and better ground clearance.
