I'm about to pick up a GSR rear swaybar, and I have some questions on installing this. I haven't been under the backside of my car in awhile, but from what I remember there are dimples for where the mounting brackets would go but I don't believe they're drilled completely through. Do I just drill these out? Do I tap them or am I just putting a bolt through the hole with a nut and washer on the other side? Also, do I just use a long bolt with a nut to go through the LCA's? I'm getting the bar, bushings and brackets, and endlinks but thats it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

 

The EG chassis already has 4 holes in it (my 94 CX did anyways). You will need 4 bolts & 8 washers to install the kit. The bolts don't have to be long at all (less than 1"). Make sure to use SAE grade 8 (metric grade 10.2) hardware or better.

There are two brackets (#12 & 13) that bolt directly to the Civic subframe. Then the sway-bar #5, bushings #10 & sway-bar mounts #7 bolt to those. Make sure you get all the hardware with the bar...

 

Yeah I'm getting 5, 12 and 13(I believe that picture has 12 and 13 for left and right correct?), a pair of 7 and 10, and then 6 and its bushings and sleeves, but no bolts. So I should have these holes, and I'll just have to pick up a pair of bolts for 12 and 13 to go to the car, and then bolts to go through 6 into my control arms?

 

Is the subframe already threaded to accept the 12/13 bracket thingy?

The subframe is does not have the threaded nuts on the inside (like integras or rear sway civics). You will need nuts & washers for the inside of the subframe...

 

Ahh I get it, so if my car had originally had a swaybar I'd have the nut welded onto the other side like the LCA's have. Since I don't have these, just buy some grade 8 bolts, nuts, and washers? Thanks

 

Just had a question since no one else asked. Do you have the rear LCAs with the mounting holes? If not you will need those as well.

 

I have omni control arms
