Use the Civic Type R or Integra Type R parts they are a direct match either way and work the best out of anything available unless you want a stiffer sway bar setup.

Both actually they work beautiful together and enhance each others performance.

I have a rear sway bar and my Accord isn't a "type r or si-r".

And it's not an EX either like Team Legacy said. Must have been pre-sixth gen that didn't have rear sways.

Interesting I know my DX doesn't have them in the rear and a friend of mines LX does of the same year:dunno: maybe an inconsistency in manufacturing??

hm.............how about the 5th gen EX.???? any info on them?

So, I need the Front and rear Upper Strut bars and Sway bars right. How about lower Strut or whatever it is?

For Sway bars, I'll decide with Susp. tech. since it's the only brand, for struts bars, what do i need to use? I've seen Neuspeed recommendation, but how about DC sport Flex or whatever, they seem to be 2x expensive.

Thanks guys

I should have said I have an LX, so maybe that's the difference, but I thought you had a 5th gen. So maybe LX, EX on 6th gens, and only EX like teamlegacy said on the 5th gens. Kinda like the the vtec only on EX fifth gens, but it's on the LX, EX 6th gens.

What gets me though...is that my buddy has a 94 LX and it has rear discs...I have a 99LX with the drums. Did 94 LX's come with disc, or did that particular car come with them as an option added? If they were standard on the 94 LX...seems kinda messed up that the LX's regressed to drums.

Good questions I am not really sure on the changes made since for the most part they were minute.

Seems odd they would regress to drums though. Oh and mine is 5th gen...I also now own a 4th gen wagon too

So my 94 EX does support the rear sway bar, no drilling needed?

94LX with rear discs? hm................odd my be a cross between ex and lx - should have been the SE - anyways, SE does have rear discs right?
