Icon2 end links question

Hello guy!
I have the following problem:
I installed K-tuned tracktion bars on my EK civic.
Since I live overseas and my civic is European its front lower control arms are different from the ones used on the USDM EK civics (at least used on Si version of it).
So I used DC2 front lover control arms to install traction bars.
I also use JDM EK9 front sway bar.
Now the question is which sway bar end links shouls I use with my setup? I tried EK9 and DC2 end links, but they don't fit.
Thanks

have you tried Integra Type R endlinks? IIRC, those are the ones you need.

You should have kept your other lower control arms, and ordered traction bars for the SI control arms.

SI/CTR front sway bars, lower control arms and endlinks are unique to the SI/CTR. No one else got that. That is the way EK9 endlinks don't fit. DC arms totaly diferent.

The DC2 endlinks don't fit becuase it's not even close to the same design.


It's been said in the past the sway bar side of the ITR endlink is the same as SI, and the control arm side, well clearly it fits DC control arms.
