Sway bar Question

Will a 99-00 Sir sway bar, bolt onto GSR lca on a 5th gen?

I know on the 6th gen LCA's the sway bar mounts diff to them then on GSR lcas, so would I need a sway bar from a GSR? to fit my eg?

Or can the Sir one be modded?

no sir... I've had both SiR and GSR... and ITR.

I have both SiR and GSR endlinks.

the SiR bar has solid mount holes through the end of it... the GSR has and eye setup with a rubber bushing. The GSR endlink goes around the end of the eye with he bolt going through it. On the SiR, the endlink goes straight through the hole in the bar. I know my babbling is useless without pics, but... I sold the SIR bar so I can't take pics. However, maybe BOND007 would be kind enough to show you. The GSR bar you can see for yourself when I hand it to JSK in a couple of weeks.

this is one of the most ridiculous posts i've ever seen.
GSR is more than enough for more people on the road.
ITR is pretty big and will make your car pretty tail happy
It should be indicative that the ITR bar is too big for most people by the fact that you need to reinforce the subframe to mount it.

ITR bar or nothing

ya rite!

werd to big berd!

The ITR bar can be downright dangerous for ppl who are unfamiliar with vehicle dynamics. there is a reason Honda didn't put the ITR bar on GSRs... GSRs are more pedestrian, more civilized so that even your mom can drive it w/o taking a spill on the expressway offramp. The ITR bar is not for everyone. It is for me though Really tightened up my lines!

I couldn't have said it better Bruno! I have enough tail-happiness for a road-going car with the GSR bar installed. I couldn't imagine driving with the ITR bar on a daily basis.
