Sean, you're incorrect in some ways. The EK/EM platform has swaybar mounting points on the LCAs already. All he would have to do is purchase an SiR swaybar, endlinks, the D-brackets, bushings and bolts.

To put an Integra swaybar on requires the endlinks from an SiR bar.

5th gen and 6th gen platforms vary a bit.

so if the previous owner had a GSR Bar on a EK hatch already ... and claims to have everything when he had it on his car.
so will that mean I will be able to put it directly onto my EK sedan ? or could it be possibe that he drilled extra holes to make the endlinks bolt up?

thanks for your help guys!

To add to Ryan's reply...
There is no drilling required. The LCA's on your EK, or any EK for that matter, already have the mounting holes in them. The holes are already in the subframe too for the D-brackets to mount to. If you use a GS-R bar, you still need to use SiR endlinks/brackets. If he took it off an EK, then he should have all the correct parts.

If not, then here are the parts you will to mount it...
P/N 52315-ST7-Z01 Anti-sway Bar Bushing (Qty. 2)
P/N 52308-SS0-000 Bushing Bracket (Qty. 2)
P/N 52320-S04-003 '99-'00 Honda Civic Si Rear Stabilizer Endlink Assy., RH (Qty. 1)
P/N 52321-S04-003 '99-'00 Honda Civic Si Rear Stabilizer Endlink Assy., LH (Qty. 1)

but it's NOT!!!! I have both a GSR rear sway and an SIR rear sway... I have an EK... or REALLY it's an EJ6. The SiR endlinks DO NOT FIT on the GSR bar. Whoever told you that smokes a lot of crack or is very poorly informed (I suspect the latter). So to review... a GSR bar will PHYSICALLY fit the so called EK chassis, but the SiR endlinks DO NOT WORK with the GSR bar. Reason being... SiR bar has solid ends where the endlinks mount, while the GSR one has a funky bushing in the end, and the metal sleeve that goes through the bushing is too small for the SiR endlink to fit. If you wish to try it out, I'm selling the GSR bar for $50 shipped

I got that info from the Beaks site when I was going to get a GS-R bar for my car. So the parts list will work for an SiR bar then.

The SiR one bolted up no problem with all the stock SiR parts... (everything underneath my car is SiR anyways)... but I did try the GSR bar in there out of curiousity, and the endlink did not fit through the bushing insert.
