If you are going to use the GSR rear end links you will need Integra rear LCAs. Also, I believe you will need front control arms, especially if your EG doesn't have a factory front sway bar. Of course you may also need the d bracket and bushings to fit the sway bars if those aren't included. If your rear LCA has the hole for a rear sway bar endlink, you could opt to use some 99-00 Civic Si endlinks rather than using the GSR ones and having to swap out rear LCAs.

If you do buy the parts, I have a parts list / bill of sale from a local Acura dealer as to what other parts you'll need other than the rear LCAs and the swaybar (with endlinks). I just recently installed one on my car and also on a buddy's car.

Rear bar without front bar will create massive oversteer (read: tight turns will cause theback end to fish out)

Front/Rear together will cause a nice balance of steering and handling.

It also depends on your spring rate/shock setup/ camber value. But for the street, use both of them.
