Ok, I got a rear sway bar/tie bar kit for a DC Integra for my EG since their suspension is supposed to be interchangeable, but I am having some problems.
The rear sway bar itself looks to be the correct length, but with no LCA's with mounting points, I won't be able to tell as of now. The problem I am having is the mounting points on the rear subframe. My rear subframe has a stepped mounting surface, and this kit has the mounts for a flat mounting surface.
Here are some pictures for reference. I basically need to know what I need to get to get this to work, else I'll just sell it. I know that the rear tie bar won't work at all though because the rear subframe is so different, that it would require a whole new rear subframe bracket, which wouldn't be worth it.
The two vertical holes you see are too narrow and aren't perfectly straight up and down, which won't hold the sway bar.
These holes line up, but obviously won't work.
