When adding a rear sway to a US market Civic, anything over the size of the Si rear sway should have suitable "subframe" reinforcement. The factory Civic Type R which runs a larger-than-Si sway bar has factory bracing to prevent rear suspension damage. The price of a large sway bar's benefit manifests as the sway bar is counteracting the LCA, the sway bar twists. As it twists, the sway bar exerts force upon the subframe and tries to pull itself away from the car. Without any reinforcement for a larger bar, the sway bar will pull itself away from the car on extreme movements and possibly tear away its mounts from the rear subframe. If you are planning on a larger-than-Si rear sway (including the Civic Type R and all DC2 Integra), please consider reinforcement options from Beaks or A-Spec-Racing. Does anyone have an actual report of how the car handles before/after other that doesn't include words like "drastic" or "rails" etc. |

i don't think 2mm+ is going to create any suspension damage. You might want to get beefier endlinks, but other than that, I can't see anything else needed for the Civic Si.

I just installed mine yesterday, it's good to have the car jacked up while you bolt everything together but keep the endlinks loose. then when your done with the bolts take the car off of jacks then get back under and tighten the endlinks now.
