Icon2 Aftermarket Sway Bars for 98 Civic DX Hatch

98 Civic Hatchback DX. I have no OEM sway bars and am looking at factory kits. I'm wondering how these kits attach the front bar to lower control arms with no factory mount provisions... so if you have any kits like Suspension Tech, Eibach etc, can you post pics of how it's attached?

Or should I be looking into getting some LCA's from an EX?

TIA

Get the front lca from an ex and you should be good to go. Unless u want the ctr or si 26mm bar up front then get the si lca and shock forks( with pinch fork bolt). I am also pretty sure you can use the ex lca with diff endlinks to fit the 26mm up front.

Searching using google and use honda-tech in the string.
This has been covered many times.
Frank the midget will come shave off your eyebrows if you post without searching.

Yeah, I figured I would be running different end links... but Whiteline is out of Australia.. not really a no name brand.

I don't want to pop for and ASR setup.. but it might be my only option here..

Love how people see it in eBay and from that fact hate like no tomorrow. Aem, asr, Pwjdm, dc sports, bwr and a huge lot of others are on eBay.
