Default Sway bar compatibility

Hi people i need help about my choice for sway bar for my EG. I have two options, ITR DC2 UKDM sway bar that is 22mm or 26mm EK9 sway bar. The ITR DC2 bar is bolt on for EG but i`m not sure if i can use EK9 sway bar on my EG ? Anyone have info if front sway bars on EG & EK are the same or not ?

I want to prepare the car for track driving. The plans are H22A7 swap. My current suspension setup is Eibach lowering springs (on stock shocks >.<), ES bushings everywhere, 21mm sway bar in front and 14mm rear, Spoon rear and front strut bar. I`m planing to buy Koni Yellow and i have ASR replica rear underbrace.

Focus on the rear sway bar right now.

Get a REAL ASR brace.

You can use the EK9 sway bar, but you will EK9 LCA's, and shock forks. Of course, this also means you have to run the EK9 subframe.

You can use 99-00 SI parts, but it might not be as easy to get.

Not true.

Bolts for 92-95/94-01 integra, are different then the 96-00.


Short of swaping the bushings, which I don't know if that would even work.

Swapping the front bushings won't work. You do, however, have to swap out the compliance bushing. The front was nothing more than adding a collar to reduce the inner diameter of the bushing sleeve to match the EG/DC2 opening.





This is from my five-year-long Integra project. So much of it has focused on suspension and braking. Most of it revolved around machining small pieces to overcome incompatibility issues - LCAs, calipers, hub swaps, and even the rotors. It was an ordeal not to be done again. It's worth it only to the truly obsessed.
