Default Sway bars????

I've searched and found nothing that tells me if the 4 door sway bars will fit on a HB?
If so then what sizes are they?
Also does anyone have the sizes for all models of Civic and CRX? I found so many different #'s that i'm not sure what the sizes really are, if anyone has them please post.

Thanks-Jason

It will fit there isn't any difference, they're all bent the same way...just different bar thicknesses. To the best of my knowledge, I believe it goes something like this for USDM 88-91 ED's:

Civic 4Dr:
19mm front, no rear

Civic Wagon:
19mm front, no rear

CRX HF:
17mm front (hollow and actually ~17.3mm according to bushing stamping), no rear

CRX Si/Civic Si:
18mm front, 15mm rear

All other Civic hatch (STD & DX) and CRX (DX) models:
18 front, no rear

Also you can use DA Integra sway bars with the ED/EF.
22mm front (this might be hollow), 14.7mm/15.9mm (coupe/4dr sedan) rear

When interchanging the front you just need the bar and corresponding bushing, all the other brackets and endlinks are the same. For the rear, if your car didn't come with a sway bar, you'll need to figure something out and that's been covered before. A search should reveal some creative suggestions.

I searched and read 90%+of the threads on the sway bar(s)subject of the EF/ED models. All I read said nothing of the Sedans bars.
Thanks for the info cool.

Accually Civic STD has no front or rear (at least my 91 didn't)

You're probably right on that Louie, my STD vs DX knowledge is gray. I've seen them in the boneyards with front bars and sometimes its hard to tell what model they started life as, other than not-an-Si. I just lumped them all together.

I guess for hondacivic4g the gist of it is there are 19, 18, and 17(hollow) front bars from the factory that will fit. Given enough time you should be able find each in a junkyard, but you should take a vernier caliper to be sure (I do). Or ask the guy you are buying them from to measure it or read the stamped # on the bushing (if he has it).

For the rear, it should be the same deal for any 4th gen ED. Get the rear LCA with the threaded holes for the endlinks, if you don't have them already. Then figure out a way to mount the L-bracket to the unibody, since you probably have holes without the threaded nut to bolt them to.
