Type R sways w/ Skunk2 LCAs... help

Second Glance
I was under the impression that the type r sway will bolt flush against Skunk2 LCAs. when i installed them the sway links are kinda far from the actual LCA so i had to force the screw in and it was at an angle. its tearing the bushing out.. Is this normal for Skunk2s? Or do I have to buy washers and a longer screw?

edit: got this pic on team-integra


Now i have Skunk2 LCAs so the screw where the endlink goes is a little higher. Regardless in order for the sway bar link to be parallel to the LCA there is space between. I have my links bolted right up to LCA... After a while the bushing tore right out because of the angle. Is this the remedy for this issue?

Yea man, you have to have them parallel so I guess spacing it with washers is your option, that or buy a sway bar for you car.

i thought all integra sway bars had the same shape... cuz i had the same issue with my stock LS sway bar.. the issue is that the LCA is too thin compared to the stock arms..

If anyone has Skunk2 LCAs please post some pics if you can.

i was just looking at that pic again, those dont look like skunk2 LCA's skunk2 LCA's have 3 small holes with threads on the inside right next to one another, and you are supposed to screw the sway bar into one of those, not where the bushings are. so basically there should be 3 holes with bushings in them, 1 hole is for the subframe, the other two holes which are close to each other go to your suspension damper and one to the bottom of (the knuckle i guess you can call it--basically almost under your rotor). then the sway bar screws into one of the 3 smaller holes that are tapped. hope this helps

thats weird im not sure since its type r if that would make a difference. what year is your car, maybe if you have an older gen 3 then they changed the size a little towards the later years
