Theres 2 kind of endlinks on the ek's, being ek1 than u will need these type of endlinks, which ive only seen Blox sell the aftermarket set.

ej8 and ek's have different front LCAS if people didnt know

function 7 make height adj spherical endlinks, just dont have the dust caps like in your photo, im currently running them in my car ^^

interdasting, I remember reading something like that on honda-tech but didn't realise it applied to our civics

so EJ8 runs 2-piece LCA and subframe setup like the EG/DC2

what an oddball

If i remember correctly Only the EM1/EK4/EK9 had the one piece LCA and 26mm swaybar, every other ek/ej model had the 2 piece lca, so therefore if we wanted to go bigger with using the larger swaybar from the em/ek4/ek9 we had to swap the whole LCA, endlinks and pinch fork

So that must mean OP has a ek4???? lol

^ It's like that for the EK's in the states with their DX, EX etc. etc.

All the variations of EK's in australia (CXI, GLI, VTIR) all seem to use the 1 piece LCA for HB anyways. except the CXI doesnt have the bracket for the endlinks welded on.

the advantage is when you lower your car u can have your sway bars at the correct angle to maxamise the life of ur endlinks, also when setting up ur car for track work ive been told it makes corner balancing easier and again so the sway bars at sitting correctly

what is considered the correct angle and where do you measure from? I have adjustable RSB endlinks and i just set it close to oem length and installed.
