i have been told that the integra swaybar in the rear can bolt into the crx, but am not sure if the crx already has the holes or not. most likely not, since they don't come with them. if you can get a swaybar out of an integra for cheaper, then you can also use that, just fyi.

i also have a dx, so if you get it to work let me know, and if i get one and put it in i will let you know, if you haven't done so already.

The DX has the holes to attach the brackets, but there are no nuts inside
so you cannot thread a bolt there.
The Integra rear sway bar is a direct bolt on.

You might want to get the Suspension techniques rear sway bar which comes complete with brackets and bushings.

Go with the ST for the Civic/CRX, it's adjustable to suit your needs. Full stiff will wrap you around a pole (oversteer). HTH Kerry

I put ST on my DX- For the rear- I drilled a hole big enough to get my finger in into the side of the body next to where the holes for the sway bar brackets should be. Then I put nuts in there and bolted the brackets up. I then sealed the hole- no problem.

Default What about welding the Honda brackets?

Anyone ever thought about welding the Honda brackets on
a non-equipped chassis?

That is a good idea. I have acquired a rear sway bar with brackets for free in a package deal. Has anyone tried to weld them on? It would be stronger anyway.
