hey guys,
just put in a whiteline swaybar kit on my car.
after installing the 27mm fronts,
i found that they are pretty much resting on the lca and that
there is no room at all between them.

after doing a bit of research i found that blox states this for their 26mm front sway bar.
"note: Sway bar will fit 96-00 Honda Civic provided front suspension is changed over to JDM CTR front LCAs, shock forks and end links"

does that mean i have to upgrade all those things as well?

zzzz the shop i bought them off told me it was just a straight bolt on for my car.

Logically one would assume that if Blox claim the Sway Bar will fit only after suspension changes for the 26mm then that will apply for anything >26mm. Shame about the shop dicking you around, can you return it?

I wouldn't touch the stock front ARB. Put a bigger one in the back and leave the stock front one - you'll get more balanced handling that way (by stock I mean the 25(?)mm EK4 bar). You should get an EK4 bar fairly cheap (much cheaper than the Whiteline unit)

"Suits models with OE bar and ball link - non adjustable." off whiteline.

does anyone know which ek models come with the oe bar and ball link
