wow those ones are hella nice, the good thing is that i work for Lordco ( parts company) and i can get parts cheap, :woot: :woot: lol. I like that those lca's have a spot for a sway bar mount, i noticed on my car there are no sway bar mounts on the rear, wtf is up with that.. any idea on what car i could nab the sway bar from???

the 4dr ex's have factory rear sway bars, you can snag the ones from those cheap from junk yards, or just get aftermarket ones

which aftermarket sway bar would work though, cuz in the book theres a listing for the 92 -95 civic si but nothing for the 4dr

I'm pretty sure it's still the same, i know that you can also use Teg sway bars, so i'd get a type R one and also get an ASR subframe brace :thumb:

God i love working with cars, you want one little thing to be good but no..... not happening :thumbdown:

speaking of lca's. if anybody can find some dimentions- where the holes are, length, width, and all the other VERY important stuff about them let me know. Im in the process of designing and fabricating an experimental set of lca's. :thumb: :thumb:
