Default need suspension upgrade help

i have a 93 civic dx 4 door-which does not come with sway bars from factory- and i'm gonna upgrade my suspension. i have front 94 integra ls sway bar, all brackets and hardware w/ lower control arms, and rear gsr sway bar w/ all brackets and hardware, and 2000 gsr rear lower control arms. i have all this stuff and i'm just waiting for a good day to put it together. i wanna see what u guys think, and if u have any tips to make the install go easier i would appreciate that as well.

it is just a matter of bolt in
you will have to unbolt the exhaust and take off shift linkage
that is if you want the install to go easy

see i have no sway bar in the front as well as in the back. now i know in the rear there are holes on the the sub frame where the sway bar brackets go, but i dont know if i have the nuts that are tak welded to the sub frame. in the front where the sway bar bracket mounts to the body there is a bolt/nut setup that holds it in place. now i have seen the studs there before but i do not know if it has the threaded hole were the screw goes. but as far as parts i have all the parts that i need in my room right now so im trying to get it done. my car has 2'' drop kit and now shocks but no sway bars. i'm going to be doing a b16 swap and i know that it's going to need the sway bars to do the damn thing. good lookin' for the info

I'd recommend getting some Energy Suspension sway bar bushings while you are at it. Also consider the ES front swaybar end links.

today was the day and i have to say it was the easiest thing that i have done in a long time. my boy called me today and said that we could use the garage, so we got it in. ever thing came off with no problem the only thing, was that the rear sub frame where the bracket that holds the bar; you need to get the nuts, bolts and washer to hold the bracket in place. but the car is amazing, it does the damn thing this is the best upgrade to the suspension i have done. i plan to do a write up good looking for all the info
