These are the end links you need. I'm actually in the same process as you of getting a ITR bar haha!

Those are garbage.
Not to mention, if he does use thoughs he will need to buy spacers for the endlink bolts. The ITR holes are larger, and the bolts wont work.


OP, I am almost 100% sure you can use OEM endlinks.

Ahh I didn't know that. My bad. OEM ITR endlinks are hard to find though.

For the GS-R you can get front sway bar bushings from a dealer. Actually you might want to just get an entire endlink assembly.

IDK about EGs but the rear endlink on my GS-R mounted fine on my ITR sway bar with no modification needed that I can recall. Can you get some GS-R rear endlinks? I would guess they would mount on your LCAs just fine.

Not you're fault, man. Most people don't know about the sway bar holes, until after they've already bought it/ and endlinks. lol That is how I know.

But the endlinks, (which I have) are total and complete trash. They failed in about a year.

Go to the dealer for those.




I remember reading somewhere the GSR/ITR rear endlinks were the same. It would be worth it to do a little research on that though.

I'm new to the whole sway bar setups, hence I have an EJ1 haha. I'm also getting an ITR bar but the bushings where the holes are on the ends of the bar are completely ****ed. Every dealership wants both of those bushings shipped for 20 bucks. What a joke those bushings are 2 bucks a piece on that site and they want 12 dollar shipping and 5 for a processing fee. I'm trying to find a different place that sells those bushings but I'm having no luck.

Do you have a Honda or Acura dealer in driving range?

Or any other parts you need to buy?

If you're talking to me, yes I have a Honda dealer like 15 minutes from my house. But from what I heard they can't order acura parts. The way to get around it is to just tell them the part numbers you need and they'll get it.
