Default Got rear LCAs, got GSR swaybar, what else do I need?

Usually I can find my answer without having to post but I can't find this one in my searches.

I've got a 93 Si coupe (that's an EX to you guys in the US) and I'm having my suspension done this weekend... I'm adding a GSR swaybar and urethane bushings too.

Now I've got a set of rear LCAs from an Integra, and I've got a GSR rear swaybar with endlinks, but exactly what other parts do I need?

Which parts should I pick up from the Acura dealer? Subframe brackets, bolts, etc. If you've got part numbers that would be great too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TTT. I can't believe no one has the answer.

that's everything you need. The swaybar, endlinks, brackets, and bolts, you should also look into some form of reinforcement kit like a beaks kit.

Alright thanks. I was more after the actual part numbers but I'll find that hopefully.

As for the reinforcement kit, for a GSR swaybar I don't think it's necessary. If I move up to an ITR bar then I could see the need.

I'm going to be getting a very very cheap GSR rear swaybar set-up w/ all the hardware on Friday.

A SRK is *not* needed with such a small swaybar, correct?

Anyone?

I had the GSR rear sway bar on my coupe for a year with no problems

Nope it should be fine without a SRK, you only need it for bigger bars like the itr.

I've been running the car for close to a month now with the rear swaybar. I've definitely noticed a difference (even with the stock GSR bar) on the autocross track. The install was easy.

For others researching this swap later on: I'd still use the Beaks or BSQ reguardless of which sway bar, it is not much more money than buying the oem brackets (new), which I think are junk anyways. Good luck on the swap

Well, I'm getting everything for $30. The SRK is like twice that.
