I recently ordered an Si front sway bar with lower control arms and mounting hardware for my project hatch. My hatch is a 1990 STD model.

I was under the impression that the stock lower control arms needed to be replaced because the stock LCAs don't have a mounting hole in them.

But, upon further inspection of my car, I found what looks to be sway bar mounts in the front lower control arms.

Is that what this is? And if so, I don't need new LCAs to mount the Si sway bar right??

 

put a Teg 90-93 sway......way better and bolt on whit LCA that have the hole of course!

 

I had always wondered that too! Someone enlighten us!

</TD></TR></TABLE>yep... those are sway bar endlink holes... depending on your setup i'd run eather a Si bar or a Teg bar... and use energy suspention endlinks, it's worth the $25

 

i didnt know STD civics didnt come with a swaybar. i thought all civics and crx came with at least a front bar.

i suppose you should check if the swaybar bushings holes are there on the subframe near the steering rack. they probably are. then youre set to go.

anyway, youve got a lot of stock options for running a front swaybar. this is the order in size. the HF and DA bars are hollow tho, for whatever thats worth.

HF
DX/Si
Sedan
DA

but id be more interested in putting some kind of rear swaybar in for better handling.

Cool

Thanks for the info.

And yeah, I already have a Suspension Techniques rear sway bar.

Does anyone by chance have the part number for the ES front sway bar end links??
