[ayau]

Can anyone confirm if the 17-21 FK8 Type R rear sway bar is compatible with the 22+ Civic SI?

I read on the other forum that is a direct fit but it needs the brackets.
Apparently the brackets are integrated on 2022 Civics.
Can someone confirm this?

Yeah they are, they’re stamped together at the bolt holes and stay on the bar when you remove it. You could drill out the stamped part I suppose. I installed an Eibach bar which came with its own brackets and bushings.

Thanks man!
I kept the Type R sway bar that I had on the my 2018 Hatch and for some reason I thought it came without brackets.
Should have looked instead of asking...
Installed now on the Si! Can't wait to try how it feels.

I've been running the FK8 rear sway for several months now and it really balances the car out on rotation. I ran the Tail of the Dragon in June and the car handled VERY well even with the crappy OEM all seasons. You will definitely need the brackets and if your bar doesn't come with the CTR endlinks, I would upgrade to the aluminum Accord units. The stock Civic Si endlinks are hard plastic.

Sure thing! I had the whole package, bushings, Accord end links and all.
After driving it for a couple of days I can tell the difference it makes is less pronounced than it did on the 10th.gen. Hatch.
Less improvement felt in the resistance to cornering, probably because the Si with the LSD and much stiffer rear was already very good.
It's just nicer to throw in into a corner now.
Great OEM mod!
Probably Type R front springs to follow at some point once I have enough info if the shocks can handle them...
