GSR bar, ITR bar... even an SIR bar would fit, but not the endlinks!

check the classifieds, I'm selling a GSR rear sway with endinks and d-brackets for $60.

in your case no matter what you get, you'll need integra lower control arms.

Rear sway

If you can find a Suspension Tech rear sway you will not need the rear lca's. I have a 19mm on mine and the endlinks hook up to a bracket that comes with the bar just in front of the shock where it mounts on the LCA. The only catch is you have to reverse your shocks 180 degrees to do it. Just an option.

First, you need to get yourself some rear LCAs from a 94-01 Teg, Del Sol or a Civic EX-V... like these:

Then you need to get yourself a swaybar. I got mine from a GSR and it already had the endlinks.

And finally, you go out and order the parts shown here (you'll also need some 8mm automotive grade locking nuts for those bolts since the Civics don't have the threaded part on the subframe for them to bolt into -- easily found at Canadian Tire.)

And these are where the nuts you buy from Canadian Tire will be used (well, behind all that but you get the idea).

This is a good deal.

Your hardest part will be finding the GSR LCA's.

Glad to be of help. I've had that info sitting around for ages... thought I'd finally share since someone asked.

Any of you guys experienced subframe tearing? I have not come across a system yet that hasn't had someone tear the subframe.

That's exactly why I'm too afraid to do this mod. However, I'd imagine the GSR would be the safest swap if you do it properly.

The GSR bar is too small to cause any subframe damage. Moving up to an ITR bar is risky... besides, I don't know if I'd want my car to be any more tail-happy than it is now.
