Default Gsr 24mm sway bar hits shift linkage on 99 hatch. Suggestions???

Just like the title says. My car is a 99 civic hatch. The sway bar came from an 01 gsr teg. The shift linkage is from a B18 swap/motor that's in car now.

Integra linkage stay rods (the part that doesn't move) don't fit 96-00 civics all that well. I had to bend the linkage a little on my EM1 (ITR swap). Which part of the linkage is hitting?

I'll upload a pic. The middle of the bar is hitting dead center over the linkage

Here's the hitting spot



I also have the end links that are at a 90* to the ground

Nope, the endlink is fine. Just bend the shift stabilizer a little. Looks like it's already bent in other places.

After looking online I got it to fit fine by inverting the links. The linkage isn't bent btw just the pic looks wierd

I find that strange. I never had a problem with a shift linkage used from an integra. The EM1 subframe isn't all that different the EJ subframe.

Also is it hitting it when you shift, give it gas? How are your motor mounts? Do you have everything bolted onto the T bracket?

Tony, it's not the linkage, it's the sway bar.

DC sway bars are known not to fit 96-00's very well at all.
