installed suspension...unknow noise

I've just recently installed my drop-zone struts all around and 1.75 drop springs all around. Well the first problem with the change was on my driver left rear side that the bolt forze that held the bottom of the strut so i had to cut off the bolt and try to push out the body of the bolt. But that didn't ******* work so I had to drill it out. After that I messed up at drillin the damn hole and had to get it replaced. So now I got my new rear sway bar that connects to the strut but i think it came off an 95 ex so its different. I put it in with no problems same length and positions the holes are in. But before I relpaced it I used the old one and that made some kind of squicky noise / rubbing noise but after I replaced that damn part it still does it. What the hell could it be? Did any one of you guys run into a problem like this?

by new rear sway bar I assume you're talking about the rear lower control arm. no matter what car it came from, it'll work just fine. as for the squeaking noise, I bet you didn't use the Honda guide for lubricating bushings.

Universal grease or silicone grease. It's just the bushings squeaking...simple solution.
