EDIT: I just did a search on fleebay (ebay) "adjustable sway bar links" and there are tons of them out there for other cars and I am sure that you can find somthing that will work for the SC? Im interested in this as well. Let us know if anyone has bought a set for another car that fit the SC

OK found some specs for that blox kit. They dont look to bad at all just grease em up real good and I think it should be fine. I will messure mine out tonight (front and rears) and see if they will be compatable. For 36 bucks... couldnt hurt to give it a try right?

Specifications for the Blox adjustable links:

CENTER TO CENTER: 2.8” min; 3.5” max

BOLT SPEC: 10x1.5

BOLT LENGTH: 2.75 (bolt might be to long but you can replace that no prob.)
Yeah they do not seem bad at all. Might also want to look into A-Spec racing, I had there rear subframe/swaybar 24mm kit on my integra and there endlinks look similiar.

For under $100 we might be able to use them in the front and rear. and for that price that cant be beat.

^^ so you got any other recommendation opposed to the blox kit?

The specs of the stock sc sway bar links from bolt to bolt are below.

Front: 4.5" bolt to bolt

Rear: 3" bolt to bolt (confirmed last night)

I'm interested for sure, I can't believe no one made bolt ons yet specific to our car with all of the stupid low SC's running around.

Yes, they are the right ones on there.
Curious how much you are lowered? I am almost sure I am in the same boat which I just replaced all of my end links with new so I will get it up on the drive on hoist and check for preloading at which time if thats the case I will just tig weld in a turn buckle .

I made them short cause the car is alot lower than stock so using stock height links wouldnt work

you need:

Economy Rod End Male 3/8-24 RH x 4
Economy Rod End Female RH 3/8-24 x 4
Steel Jam nut 3/8 x 4
Zinc Plated Cone spacer 3/8 x 24
^^^
THAT stuff I bought from www.racingrodends.com they are paypal friendly and shipping was cheap it was around $50 for everything

THen I had just went to my local hardware store and bought:

2" long hex head bolt 9/16-24 x 8
and then some locking nuts in 9/16-24 x 8 of them

The bolts and nuts were a few dollars

Here are how the fronts look


And here are the rears, The bar sits lower then the control arm now cuz of the ride height
