Default installed neuspeed sway bar

last night i put in neuspeeds 19mm bar with endlinks. i must say it made a very drastic change, and i wonder if getting the type-r bar would have been a little too much.


the only problem i have and hope someone can help me with is that the stock bolts that hold the stock endlinks in place are too long for the neuspeed endlinks. should i get shorter bolts or put some more washers in? also can anyone provide specs for how much to torque down the lower control arm bolts and the endlink bolts? thank you for your time.

At any hardware store, just bring in the bolt you have and ask a guy working there and he should hook with a shorter bolt.

As for the torque, I located some torque numbers in my Chilton manual for my Civic. So I would check in your manuals that you have. Post some pic's when your done.
