First, (as we already covered ) get appropriate lower control arms (94+ integra any, EX w/ rear sway, SI/EX front).

Do you also have the D-brackets and bushings? You'll need those too... and endlink hardware. If you've got all that stuff, proceed.

REAR:

-Jack up the rear of the car and place securely on jackstands and remove rear wheels.
-It might help to remove the axleback portion of you exhaust to make more room to work
-remove the rear lower control arms: there should be 3 bolts on each, one attatched to the trailing arm, one to the bottom of the shock, and one to the subframe. These bolts are bastards (especially the shock one), so be sure you have a big-ass breaker bar or an impact wrench
-put in your new LCAs, should be pretty straight forward. They're marked L and R.
-take a look at your subframe where the D-brackets are supposed to go... it should look like the attatched image, if not, you may need to enlarge one of the holes w/ a drill
-attatch swaybar and endlinks to the LCAs (in your fancy new LCA holes ) If you're not sure you have all the hardware, stop by the honda or acura dealer and ask to look at the parts screen for a 94+ teg or 92-95 civic ex sedan... if you don't have all the bolts, they'll give you extras for a few bucks.
-put the D-bushings over the swaybar
-put the D-brackets over the bushings and bolt up to the subframe in the holes pictured
-make sure everything is torqued down, check over everything. Lower car, youre done.

If you were installing a bigger rear sway, a reinforcement kit would be necessary, but with your dinky little one, the stock bracket will do just fine. My fingers are tired, I'll get back to the front in a minute h:
