Default ITR Sway Bar On EJ6/EkSedan Question

I just copped a ITR sway bar since it was at pick n pull and i couldnt leave without taking it, Down to the question!

Car INFO:
1998 Sedan EK/Ej6

Is it true all i need is Endlinks off a SI 99-00
Because i read i might need to change LCA/Subframe...& What not!
But my plan was to just buy a Integra LCA for rears(Cheaper),so my Sway can be plug n play, the thing is Integra LCA are thicker than Civic and i just got new sets of coilovers do any Integra has the same Thickness as the civic LCA?
94-UP Maybe?

Inputs & Tips welcome
Yes im a noob i dont know much for suspension, So go ahead and educate me

All you do is spent $20 in a pair of adaptors, and you can use Si endlinks

You can use the EM1 endlinks as stated. I would recommend some sort of subframe enforcement though with a bar that big. Also, 94-01 rear lower control arms will not fit on an ek civic. The length, not width, is the issue.

Oh I asked cause my cousin got a gsr sway and all he did was get some integra Lca so the sway was plug n play on his EG but the thickness of the Lca is the same so his coil fit fine

I would never waste my time swapping lca's when all you need is a pair of cheap machined adaptors

All 96-00 control arms are the same, buddy.

Lol, why in the world would you get a tie bar? They do nothing.


If anything. Trade the bar for a 99-00 Civic SI rear sway bar and all hardware. Or sell it and get a suspension techniqe rear sway bar. They are 22mm, and don't require a subframe brace.
or a eibach rear bar.



With the integra bars those adapters are required on a 96-00, no matter what.
