stock rear swaybar? easy as man lol, its direct bolt on, i did it on mine... 2 bolts each side, for the swaybar mounting bracket, than another 2 for the actual sway bar brackets, make sure u use high tensile bolts, as u find that if u dont, the bolts will strip of there threads an worse comes to worse the sway bar will be dangling there cause the bolts sheered off...

Strut bar is more of a pain, as theres a hard line in the way, u need to unbolt the brackets holding it in place an move it else were to bolt on the strut brace

if you're talking about the rear sway bar, you might be missing the brackets which the d-links bolt into

front or rear sway bar? Pls be more specific.

I used to own an ej8, they came with stock front sway bar and no rear sway bar and no front strut brace.

i dont believe any low range honda came with strut brace, not even em1! and type r brace doesnt count as strut brace as well ;P

For front if upgrading to Ek4/Em1 26mm, u need to replace LCA, suspension forks, endlinks, bushes and brackets, but other wise, good investment
