Canadian EL same as American EX?

I'm looking for some front lower control arms that will accept front sway bar, will the EL front lca's work? I got a 98 dx hatch

Also wondering whats the chassis code for the EL?

Thanks

I'd assume (I'm not 100% sure) 96-2000 Si ones would work also, as they have similar suspension as the EL

Was there 96-00 si? I thought there was only EL in Canada. Can't seem to find 96-98 si in junk yards.

in Canada, we have 96-00 Si and 99-00 SiR

in the US the cars are 96-00 EX coupe and 99-00 Si

Acura 1.6 EL is Canada only

you will find a front sway bar on the 96-00 Si models, EX model sedans, and the Acura EL.

this swaybar will be DIFFERENT from the 99-00 SiR sway bar. the regular civic bar is 22mm, the SiR bar is 26mm.

SiR bar looks like so
