93 eg hatch
im not sure what sway bar or end links are on the car.

heres the porblem "see pix"
the shop dropped the sway bar down as a quick fix so they didnt have to removed it with the exhuast install..

whats the best way to fix this the right way and keep the sway bar?

It's not supposed to mount there, but I think you figured that bit out.

The D-bracket should bolt to that middle bolt (that it's top bolt is bolted into now), and the one above that.

It looks like it's bolted to the correct spot on the LCA, just with some janky ass hardware.

Here's how it bolts on my EJ8, (it uses different end links)

that was just told hold it.. it was bolted where it would be.. but had to drop it there for the ride home.. when bolted in the right spot the sway bar is right were the exhaust is..ill get better shots i need to put it back on to get pix of it. these pix were just a temp fix to get it home so we didnt remove it all the way

Is that a integra rear swaybar? If so, it's not as easy as just bolting it on.

idk? im guessing it is a 95 gsr rear sway bar..
i worked right with stock size exhust but with the 2.5 it will not fit as it should that is why why have it droped for the time being in the pix..

i know it is not bolted in the correct spot
and i know the hardware is one of them metal exhust hangers with the holes in it its what we had at the shop at the time to drop it when i got home i removed the sway bar all together..
but i want to install it back and wondering what i need to do?
change the endlinks or a different sway bar?

the top bolt hole on the sway bar mount is bolted to the bottom stock home on the subframe and then attached to a mettel bracket in the pix with just a bolt and nut this was just a temp jog to get home and i removed the sway bar im not about doing with like matt... no offence.. i want this fixed the right way.. and why im asking for advice..

Yeah, looks like your exhaust just doesnt bend far enough up to clear it. I'd take that swaybar off, instead of having it installed all janky like. That or get the exhaust modified.
