Default Rear sway bar install

Can someone post up info on how to install a rear sway bar for a 99-00 Civic EX?
I have the bar, I know I need endlinks, etc. from an Si, I did a search but all I found was pictures of bars already installed. If anyone can post up parts (or part #'s from honda would be even better!) I would need for the install, which tools, and a quick how-to...I would be very very thankful.

I bought a 17mm AEM bar. I think its suitable for my needs. Anyhow, that HAZONE how-to was the most helpful. Thanks!

im pretty sure u figured it out by now but it's really just about drilling new holes on the subframe (no need if using si brackets and bushings) to put on the brackets with the bar already through them and then attaching the endlinks onto the lca's then connecting the bar. depends on which endlinks you are using of course, and how the aem bar attaches to the endlinks. and then there's always the endlinks they sell at pepboys which are actually pretty good as well as bushings.

I think I'm going to use the Si brackets if its cheaper than the stuff they sell at PepBoys. I want to avoid having to drill anything though.

Yeah i know the main holes should be predrilled. So hopefully it will be kinda "plug-n-play"

Thanks.
