Subframe/swaybar 101 EK/EM/EJ

[Torment]

No.

DC/Eg are different mounting points/hole locations than EK/EM civics.

yes i understand the rear subframe is different between DC/EG and EK/EM, and also type-Rs and normal civics bennjamin, what i'm trying to get straight is wether the ARBs itself are the same, i have been told that the 22mm bar from the EK9 and pre-98spec DC2-R uses the same D-bush and bracket whereas the post-98spec JDM DC2-R's 23mm bar use a different D-bush but the same D-bracket as the 22mm bars.

WHY CAN'T THE TYPE r USE THE ASR BRACE?

I just dont think it will bolt up since they have different size rear points. The ITR is beefy enough that it doesnt need one. As for the rest, id highly recomend it.
Above question, yes you have it down correctly. Only kits available

ive been lead to believe the U clip and D bush you speak of are eactly the same irrelevant to swaybar - its the sie which determines the D bush inner size (22 or 23mm for example) - the outer U bracket + 2 x bolts are the same EK or DC

so i guess both will fit the ASR brace then. thanks benn! hmmm...how bout the ends then are they the same? the part that goes over the LCA...
