Default making traction bars fit 99-00 SIR

Searched a bit and couldnt find anything concrete on this, so here goes.

Installing traction bars on a 99-00 civic SIR (canadian) - what mods need to be done to the LCA's, or what other LCA's will fit that have the needed bolt to attach the traction bars bracketry to?
I would like to fit up a set of Avid bars, but they list that they will not fit this model's LCA's.
Anyone have a decent solution?

LCAs off another model and maybe different shocks? With pictures of this models LCAs and normal ones, maybe we could confabulate something.

The websites that sell traction bars usually say to weld them for SI (USDM)... I believe urs is the same just called sir in CDM

Generally traction bars will only fit ex/hx style control arms.
Doing so, would mean you would also need to replace your endlinks with, i think Integra type r endlinks. Or run a ex style front sway bar.

Give avid a call. I'm sure they will be able to help you out. There really good people.

Thanks for all the input - I'll have to contact Avid to see about a possible solution.

Most aftermarket companies say to weld the traction bars on the SIR/Si... You can swap out the LCAS with one from another 96-00 civic but you will also have to run a swaybar from that civic as well...
