Got a civic ek and just bought a front Whiteline swaybar with no endlinks. I can't find Whiteline endlinks anywhere. Are any others compatible hardrace, ek4 or dc2 links?

Stock/ hardrace should do fine.
If you don't have current endlinks/ a swaybar, you'll need gli front lca's though. From memory there is nowhere to mount endlinks to on the cxi front lca's
Correct. Will need GLI or EK4 / EM1 LCA's. I fitted a pair of hard race adjustable end links onto my EK4 no problem. These are a good option if you can't get hold of OEM ones.
OEM and hardrace are better than Whiteline end links anyway. Whiteline use bushes, whereas OEM ones have ball joints.
Yer I've got em1 control arms. When I bought the whitline swaybar the guy said he was using gli endlinks but the swaybar was hitting somewhere. He said ek4/ek9 ones are longer and will fit with no hitting.
Installed the 27mm sway bar with GLI endlinks
Swaybar was hitting everywhere LCAs possibly somewhere else to. Swaybar removed, any suggestion how to stop it from hitting? Longer endlink?
You were using gli ones and said the ek4/ek9 ones are longer, perhaps try them
Stock EK4 front end links are about 55mm long centre to centre. Can't see GLI ones being much shorter than that. Aftermarket sway bar might not sit as well as the standard one. You might be able to relieve the flanges on the LCA's slightly where the bar hits it (only a smidge, and blend it to get rid of any grinding marks).
27 is pretty big - you're better to use the stock EK4 (26mm) bar and put a bigger rear bar on. Civics don't really need any more front bar.
Thanks for the advice guys Ill try ek4 endlinks first
Ek4 endlinks didn't work
Adjustable ones/ whiteline or asr would be the go then I imagine
Can't find Whiteline ones anywhere. Thinking of just selling it
As I said before, whiteline end links are shit. Jdmyard sell asr end links. Give them a try.
Oop, sorry. Yeah, go asr onesQuote:

Are the asr ones longer than oem?
They are adjustable, so I'd gamble they can be. Check with jdmyard though if you're unsure
It makes sense though. Aftermarket swaybar needing aftermarket end links due to it being much thicker
Alight Ill give them a try. Thanks
Yes they are adjustable. I have them in the front and back of my EK4. The OEM EK4 rear ones are much longer than the OEM front, and the ASR's work fine in both locations.

Not the cheapest option but if end link length is the only problem you have, then these will fix it. If the bar is poorly shaped, then end links may not fix your problem.
ASR's also come with different length spacers to allow you a bit more freedom with spacing the links away from the bar. This might just be enough to help clearance issues. Just check the contents of the box with the parts manifest. One of my kits was missing a pair of the thicker spacers, and some bolts. this was quickly sorted and they sent me the right bits.
I finally bought some asr end links from jdmyard and there is no more hitting. The front is noticeably stiffer as well
post some pics
You can see where it was hitting the control arm now there's plenty of clearance
