i thought the EX rear sway 16mm or the rsx rear sways 19mm can fit if you take the bushings/brackets/misc hardware from them too?

yes i did senor search king.lol

im trying to find someone like a person who doesnt know much that did it..

this should be in susp forum sorry move me..

u can use EX sway but: you need to make soe brackettes and then weld them onto rear control arms.. yeah alot of work.. or buy EX control arms=more work..


so ina nut shell im trying to find people other than grey... who did the swap and how they did it because maybe if i can find the one guy who got brackettes made he can get more made.. and maybe if hes somewhat near me.. i can have his shop weld them..

riley

You have two options if your control arms do not have the mounting points for a rear sway bar.

1: Either fabricate your own and have them welded, or... (will need a way to mount the bushings to the sub frame)

2: buy the lower control arms you need with the brackets already on...(will still need a way to mount the bushings to the sub frame)

3: (the best option) Look into buying a progress mounting kit that has the brackets you need that are adjustable since the use a U bolt to hold them on. Only other thing you need is a way to mount the bushings on the sub frame on the rear if you don't have those holes already, in which case you want to buy the progress rear sway and tie bar that way you will have all you need to install it. The whole thing can be bought for around $250 if you order from the right websites. (this is the option I am going to select after getting seasoned in driving my car the way it is @ autocross events).

This is coming from someone that has looked into doing the install that has average to above average knowledge about cars. You and a friend should be able to accomplish the install on a weekend, weather providing, in a few hours.

Just get the progress kit with the mounting kit and you'll be fine. Then follow the DIY grey had made and you should be able to do it.

There was a member way back when who made endlink brackets from scratch
Her use 1/4 inch steel and used a coke can to make the correct cuts for the braket to seat. the coke can is the same size as the tube for the rear control arms the guy said.

I'll try and find the post.

i saw that post im not gonna "make" brackettes tho.. the progress kit comes w/ U brackettes so u dont have to make a mounting point in control arm?

just verifying

if you buy the adapter kit
it will provide you with endlinks and the mounting brakets
