GSR vs. EG

By xswingkidx
- Sun Aug 09, 2009 6:09 pm #136871 Will an oem rear sway bar from an integra gsr fit on an eg coupe? It currently doesn't have a rear sway bar at all and I found a gsr sway bar in a junk yard. If someone can verify fitment it would mean that I wouldn't have to go work in a 110 degree garage for no reason.
Thanks!

Thanks for the head's up. I'll have to check the diameter.
Also, I heard it will only fit if I'm using gsr lower control arms. Is this true?

If you have a non-SI/EX then you'll have to use gsr lca's.

I have Si hatches and neither ever came with a rear sway. only some sedans equiped with abs got the rear sway.

- Tue Aug 11, 2009 5:11 pm #137277 Just to clarify, I have a 95 coupe ex. It doesn't currently have a sway bar on it, which is why I'm looking to put the gsr one on.

- Sun Sep 13, 2009 7:12 pm #143462 So I finally got some time to install this sway bar, but I went a little different direction with the LCAs. I didn't have a set of integra LCAs or others that were mentioned about. However, a friend of mine is a big EF guy and had a set of 89 hatchback Si LCAs with provision for a rear sway bar. We pressed the center bushing out of mine and into the EF LCAs and everything lined up perfectly. The current setup for the rear is:

- KYB adjustable struts for an EK
- Skunk2 coilover sleeves for an EK
- Integra LS rear disc swap
- 1989 civic hatchback Si LCAs with modified EG center bushing to fit EK suspension
- Integra rear sway bar

Gotta love the universal fitment of Honda parts!

And a shot of the car too since I removed the pinstripes too. It needs to go a little lower but I don't have the spanner wrenches. If someone has Skunk2 spanner wrenches let me know!

The holes already existed in the sub frame so I just held a nut on the back of each and ran the bolts from the integra through. All of the hardware for the sway bar is oem integra hardware that I snagged when I pulled the sway bar out of the junk yard.
