No it won't the be rear s2000 taillight conversion. Sorry to disappoint you r1cers out there. :p

One of my endlinks is rusted on and new ones are around $45. I found a good potential alternative: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BLOX-Rear-Sway-Bar-Endlinks-Civic-Integra-DC-EG-EF-EK_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33592QQihZ004QQitemZ140088222676QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V

Besides being able to adjust preload to a point, these should last longer than the factory ones and are reasonably priced. I was just going to assemble my own from parts through McMaster or Pegasus Racing but these will be more cost effective.

The only issue might be the diameter of the bolts themselves not matching up. I will order and find out.

Word of advice. Use Loc-tite yellow on the locking nut when you set your final setting. Those are notorious for coming loose and screwing up your settings.

Links to all that stuff:

and some pieces that look like M3 style sway bar mounts for the front struts - cheap as $1.69:

Keep the s2000 tails on the s2000 and leave the flying brick alone.

Update: Well right before I was going to order, a local had a front sway set so I ended up going with those.

Basically 21mm cabrio sway w/Ireland Engineering end links and all new bushings.

So far it feels ok but I have the 14.5mm rear bar on order to balance it out.
