Default 99 Civic LX Sedan Rear Swaybar

I drive a stock 99 civic LX Sedan daily driver. I'm not going to lower it, the car is remaining bone stock but I did just get new Koni Orange STRT struts all around and the handling around corners has improved nicely. I also run Michelin Defender tires, so I feel I the next best thing I can do for my civic is get a sway bar. I've been researching all around, but I am consistenly reading about people with 99 EX civics easily fitting a sway bar. My question is I have an LX so does that change things?

I was looking at using a 99-00 Civic SI 13mm stock swaybar and matching endlinks because according to my research, thats all I would need. Can somebody verify this?

Nothing changes.

Everything from the 99-00 SI will bolt right on
FOR EXCEPTION
the bolts holding the bracket to the subframe are too small to fit snug in the factory subframe.

Options. You can buy the ASR bracket that slips inside the subframe and use those bolts.

OR, but 4 10mm bolts with lock washers. You will need to slightly drill out the bracket though.

I was reading that I could also use a 14mm GSR swaybar since its slightly bigger. I was looking at getting a 99 GSR swaybar with SI endlinks. Would that drop in just fine? Polishing up the parts I need to make this swap happen.

#30 D bracket, #5 99 GSR sway bar, #32 SI Endlinks/blox nonadjustables, #29 SI sway bar mount bracket and 4 10mm bolts/nuts and 8 washers.

You can use a Integra bar, but you will need these.
