Default sway bar question

besides the itr, which sway bar(s) are the best in stock for for an ef hatch that will not affect alignment or camber or excessive wear on the bushings??

Any swaybar that you can get to fit should work fine without causing extra wear. They don't really do anything other than change your effective spring rates during cornering, and they don't bear a load when idle so they won't affect suspension geometry at all.

Don't ASR/ITR bolt more or less straight onto EFs?

Swaybars couldn't possibly affect alignment. Only if the LCAs or some bushing you replace is replacing a totally destroyed bushing.

None of them cause excessive wear on anything besides the endlinks they're in.

not trying to thread jack but I am currently installing an ASR subframe brace/24mm sway bar combo on the rear, with adjustable endlinks...does anyone have the same set up or something similar on their integra/civic/del sol? I am using function % form LCAs if that makes a difference.

If so could you post them or PM them to me please...i just wanna make sure i am doing this correctly.

ASR/ITR combo yes.

but op, if you have a EF, you should find a sway bar that mounts like a oem type sway bar. imop
