im not sure about the cxi, but the EK1(gli), EK4 also dont need to change lca or forks. i think the major issue is whether the cxi have swaybar mounting holes.Quote:

hmmm i dont think so, ive got ek4 front control arms here, and they look exactly the same except 4 the little hole welded on the side. r u sure that lower picture isnt for the eg?
do u know if wen mounting the front sway on a cxi, if there are already 4 nuts welded to the chassis that the d brackets screw into, or is there just 4 holes, and u get ur own bolts and nuts to attach, kinda like the rear on a cxi/gli?Quote:

look under and if there holes but not bolts, just get some bolts and washers from ur hardware store, its just normal bolts to hold the d bracket, nothing special about it.
btw nice car, wat sort of lip u got on, mugen?
The top diagram is from the USDM 99-00 Civic Si EM1. The lower diagram is from the USDM 96-00 Civic EX EJ8. Since the EK4 would be closely related to the EM1 as terms as engine and other configurations, I wouldn't be surprised if the EK4 got the 26mm front sway like the EM1/EK9.Quote:

i dont think EM1 have a 26mm front swaybar stock, the EK4 definately does come with a 26mm front and an 18mm rear.
lca, forks dont need to be changed. my EK1(gli) comes with a 22mm front swaybar stock. i replaced it with a EK4 26mm one. just bolt straight on.
Yes, our USDM EM1 did come with a 26mm front and 13mm rear. In the link I posted above, it shows installation of our EM1 26mm bar which is exactly the same as the EK9 bar/lcas.Quote:

Here's another good tutorial... http://www.jdmuniverse.com/forums/vi...?pg=ekswaybars
hmmm all aus spec EK's have the same setup as the top picture
just diff size swaybars, and cxi has no holes on the lca but the shape is the same.
ek4 has same front as ek9 swaybar.
hey guys thanks for all your helpful responses... just to let u know i already have the ek9 front swaybar installed. I needed to have the ek9 control arms because the ek1 doesnt have mounting holes for the swaybar.
so does the EK1 GLI come wiht stock sway bar.? as i have a Ek9 front sway aswell , which i need to put on. does it bolt straight onto the stock sway bar end links etc if the GLI does have one?
