Default Is this everything I need to add SI swaybar?

Is this everything I would need to add a SI rear swaybar to my 1996 no rear swaybar HX?

I know I need sway bar (duh), bushings, d-brackets, endlinks, and all the hardware for mounting. Pretty sure its all there, but would like a 2nd opinion.

(see pic) thanks!

You'll probally want to get a reinforcement (sp?) plate to protect your subframe from ripping out.

Reinforcement plate? Is that an aftermarket part? Or does that come on a stock SI? B/c if its the latter, is it necessary? Maybe I am wrong, but I though you only needed that if you were adding a larger swaybar, and this is just stock SI stuff...

thanks for lookin out though

no reinforcement plate needed for those stock dinky sway bars. looks like you have everything needed there. just make sure your lower control arms have the holes for the endlinks to hook up onto.

Thanks...2 questions then I'm done.

1. Is adding this "dinky" stock SI swaybar going to make a difference on my no-swaybar HX? I'm doing it all on a budget so I'm not interested in dropping a lot of money.

2. If anyone has a pic of the hole/mounting point of the end-links that would be great...unless I can find a SI around here to peek under. There is a hole - if no one has a pic I'll post a shot of what I have

thanks

Ok here's the pic - are these the holes yall are talking about? Note the one hole on the LCA, and the two other holes on what I believe?? correct me if I am wrong, on the subframe...

thanks
