EJ8 shares the same lower 'front' arms as the EG civics. To make and EK4 or 9 swaybar fit you need to replace them with the EK counterparts. They are one peice press moulded front arms, where as EJ8 are 2 peice cast jobs like all EGs.
Oh and also you will need the lower forks that fit on the bottom of your shocks, as your Ej8 ones wont fit around the EK lower arms. You can use either some EK ones, or CRV 97-00 spec ones will suffice.
I found this all out when doing my swap into my coupe.

Can I ask where do you get your info from Trip?
Great info..... i have the same problem too!.....so if i want to fit the fount sway bar i need to get the EK4 fount lower arm....is that what u mean? and u mention the CRV lower arm.....u sure can fit into EJ8 as well? are they hard to find compare with the EK4 one? which will be less costly?
Well you need the front lower arm off the EK, not 100% about the CRV ones though. And you will also need the Y-Fork that attaches to the bottom of your shock. You can use either the EK one or the CRV one as they are the same part number.
Well hhis is just posted from experience not opinion. I performed a Ek4 conversion into my coupe myself. So I know everybit that can or cant go somewhere. Very hard to find this out without trial and error.
