Progress Adjustable Sway Bar End Links - 88-00 Civic & 94-01 Integra
If you're pushing an EF, EG, EK, or DC harder than Honda intended, the factory end links are exactly what they look like: plastic and rubber doing a job that deserves better. They flex, they develop play, and eventually they clunk. These Progress links replace them with heavy-duty ball socket ends and machined aluminum connectors, and they're adjustable, which matters more than most people realize.
Why Adjustability Matters
This is the real reason to buy these rather than a fixed replacement.
Your sway bar is a torsion spring, and it should be doing nothing at rest. Load the car in a corner and it twists to resist roll. That's the whole job.
But if your end links are the wrong length for your ride height or your bar, the bar is already twisted while the car is sitting still. That's preload, and it causes two problems. The bar applies force at rest, which introduces cross weight and can make the car behave differently turning left than turning right. And you've used up part of the bar's travel before the corner even starts.
Adjustable links let you set length so the bar sits completely neutral at ride height. Then it starts working the instant it should, evenly on both sides. On a lowered Honda running an aftermarket bar, that's the difference between a setup that works properly and one that's slightly wrong all the time.
73mm To 88mm Of Range
Measured center to center, which covers setting them to factory length if you just want a stronger replacement, or dialing in whatever gets you to zero preload after a drop or a bar upgrade.
The practical way to set them: get the car at ride height, disconnect one end, and adjust until the link drops into place with no tension in either direction. That's zero preload, and it's what you're after. If the car is corner balanced, do this after, not before.
Built To Stay Quiet
End links live a hard life at the outer edge of the suspension, taking constant load reversals. Cheap ones announce themselves with a clunk over every expansion joint within a season, which is why adjustable links have a reputation with some people.
Progress uses heavy-duty ball socket ends and machined aluminum connectors, which is what gets you strength without the noise. The ball sockets articulate smoothly rather than binding up, and they hold up to canyon runs, track days, and sticky tires without developing the play that makes factory links rattle.
Two Reasons To Buy Them
You've fitted a bigger sway bar. This is the common one. A larger bar changes the loads and often the geometry, and adjustable links let you set it up properly instead of accepting whatever the factory links give you. If you're running a Progress rear bar, these are the matching piece.
Your factory links are worn out. On a car that's now twenty-five to thirty-five years old, the originals have long since developed play. These replace them with something dramatically stronger, and the adjustability comes along for free even if you set them to stock length.
One Pair Per Bar
Each kit includes one pair, which covers one sway bar. Doing front and rear means two kits.

Who Should Run These
This is for the Honda owner who's added a bar and wants it set up correctly, or who's chasing a clunk from links that have been on the car since the Clinton administration. Adjustability means you can actually eliminate preload rather than living with it, and the build quality means you won't be doing this again. Set them to zero preload, tighten them down, and go drive.
