Your LCAs have to have swaybar mounting points.

For the front you'll need the LCAs, swaybar, endlinks, D-brackets and bushings from a '96 - '00 Civic with a front swaybar. For the rear you wont need the LCAs as all have provisions for mounting the endlinks.

DX's never came with sway bars.

OP did you search? This question has been answer a million times.

But since I am felling nice.

For you, you could use ANY 96-00 front sway bar, even EG/DC.

You will need a minimum The back half of the control arm for any EX/HX/LX. The sway bar, endlinks, bushings, D brackets, and all hadware. You can swap the whole control if you please.

You can use 99-00 SI. But you need the SI control arm/ Shock fork, sway bar, bushings, hardware. 99-00 SI endlinks, or adjustable endlinks.

IF, you get the SI sway bar and cannot find the control arms you can use a DC back half with ITR endlinks. They MUST Be ITR endlinks.

You could also use them from an integra. For the front you need the back half of the control arm, sway bar and all other hardware. You will have to use the Stock 96-00 compliance bushing/bracket and ALL hardware from your car. This goes for EG as well.

For the rear: You need either a Intgera or civic sway bar. 99-00 SI brackets. (sway bar to subframe/ and bolts.

When I did mine I used 10mm bolts/lock nuts. And I had to drill out the bracket a bit. I HIGHLY recommend using 10mm bolts. The sub frame hole is approx 11mm, which is a pain in the *** to find. Use the bushing/D bracket for what sway you have. And you have to use 99-00 SI endlinks/ an adjustable endlinks . The LCA's are fine.

With the bolts fully tighten down the don't wobble or anything.

I would recommend finding a full SI (cdn SiR) sway bar set up. That is what I found for my CX. The full setup came with:

Front LCA, Shock forks, swaybar and endlinks

Rear Swaybar, endlinks and swaybar mount

I don't know if it's the same in U.S. buy my Canadian CX had the mounting holes for endlinks in the rear LCA's. I also chose to go the SI route because the front LCA's are of a newer design and seem to be stronger.

You should be able to pick up the whole setup for under $200 bux.

I've got SI sway bars front and rear in my car, front bar is a little big, I will be going with a 22mm. Should even things out.

ALL 96-00's have the same control arms, and will have the mounting points in them.

The 99-00 SI control arms are a 1 peice design, changed from the regular 2 peice of the other civic/intgera's.

They seemed to be a little lighter as well. ( to me, compared to my stock DX LCA's.
