Default Sway Bar Help.

I have 98 Civic Hatch. Bought this sway bar used.
Seller claimed it was from a 2000 Si.
The end links are from Rock Auto for a 2000 Si that i bought, but they dont seem to be lining up.
Do i have the wrong sway bar?

Looks legit however the bar looks as if it sits a but too far to the right (exhaust side), you might want to align it.

Did you use some sort of backing plates on the other side of the subframe where the support brackets are mounted to -SI has those standard?




This is my EK4 15mm setup -same as SI for that the SI is 13mm- with ASR backing plates.
