Sway Bar Question

[Dangles]

So currently I have a plain four door ek (98 Civic) that comes stock with a sway bar.

Now one of my front lower control arms are bent and I was thinking it would be better to put an ek9 one on.

Now my question is will my sway bar bolt up to it? Or do I have to invest in a new sway bar as well?

Thanks

I think that you don't need new bar. Shape should be the same, only ek9 sway is thicker.

You proably will need a subframe reinforcement.

You proably will need a subframe reinforcement.

What do you mean by that? In the rear?

I think this guy is talking about the rear!

 

[Dangles]

Hahaha, yeah I meant the front. Not sure how he started talking about the rear...

I would think that an EK9 subframe has a bit more reinforcement to support a 26mm ARB

If in doubt weather the ARB will bolt up, could always replace your bent lower arm with a set of EK9 ones

Sorry misread

Another issue that I totally forgot.

I will need to switch my front end links to ek9 ones...

I'm from Canada and having trouble finding some

Dont go for anything too thick unless youre fitting a rear arb, it'll handle **** if you do.

i think, get the rear with 19-22mm, keep the front at stock. higher rear sway keep understeer at check w/c you can compensate for damping tunes etc.

Does anyone know how to get a ek9 rear ARB onto an ek4 as the mount holes are a long way out.
