I recently found your post on a rear sway bar setup for the wagons. I decided to go for it and just got my sway bar with mounting brackets. As far as the end links are concerned, i cant find them anywhere. I went to a couple auto part stores asking for 87 accord rear links and the picture they show is all wrong. Am i asking for the wrong part?
There is a user on this forum currently making a prototype rear diff bushing, polyurethane bushing insert into a custom mount. It will allow you to run a DA9 sway bar with the mounts as well with no clearance issues. Will keep you guys updated!
The issue is the sway bar hits the diff mount/damper but it clears the subframe.
I dont know why everyone thinks this is hard....Just take the balancer off. ST bar clears just fine after you grind the mount down 1/8". If you install it, without grinding the 1/8" it will just touch the mount, but will still work.
I do believe the oem bars are smaller in diameter so maybe they will even clear without grinding. I grinded mine just to do it correctly....

Seriously, not hard..
Problem is that being in Australia we can't really get our hands on a ST sway bar.
The OEM DA9 one fits with OEM mounts but it fouls on the diff bushing, I believe even after shaving it still fouls. Will keep you guys updated.
how they look like if your trying to find them at the junk yard guys... so the 1st pic. on top u'll need to get the bottom piece of the bolt facing you... so u'll need to cut and reweld to make this work for ur stock crx/integra sway bar...

i have a feeling that the front sway bar might* have been covered in the suspension quicklinks, atop this page..... although, i cant be sure...
Anyways this is a cool thread though. Nice that somebody finally put up a simple how to for us!
Much appreciated.

Old post I know, but if anyone sees this, is this the ST bar you’re referring to?

@negativearth yes, that is the correct one and the one I referenced and have used on 4 of my wagons!
I still haven’t installed mine yet, I think I’ll do it this year we’ll see haha
