Hmm thanks for sharing this with us.

My last car was a '98 GSR and like DumbasSi said, when a larger rear sway bar was installed on some older Civics and also 94-01 DC and DB Integras (with the exception of the ITR) they were prone to sub frame tear outs and needed to be reinforced at the sub frame prior to installing an aftermarket rear sway bar.

I am still waiting for my Progress bar because its on backorder right now and I haven't gotten under the rear end of the car and taken a good look at everything but I'm surprised the tear out was on the LCA.
