It's the British civic version. 5door

what engine comes in it? hard to tell in that pic but it looks like a regular 96-00 civic sedan, if thats the case then just about any sway bar made for 96-00 civic should bolt up, just make sure to buy the proper kit, for example if your car has a sway bar already make sure to buy the kit for civic 96-00 w oe bar, or if your civic has no sway bars then buy the kit that would be titled for 96-00 civic wo oe bar etc...

no it's completely different. It's a liftback made in England and it's almost identical with Rovers of that time. It has many similarities with eg civics, e.g.wishbones etc. The MB6 is b18inside gsr engine (1.8cc 168hp). It's also equipped with lsd i think.

Have a look here.

I think of it more like a USDM Integra GSR with a civic badge, the above saying it shares more with eg chassis proves that, if thats the case and i am correct then eg/dc swaybars should fit.

this is rover 414

The platform is the same. You can't say for sure if it's an eg. They have mixed up various parts. I reckon that they have european suppliers for various parts (dizzys, ecus, etc) and not japan. The aftermarket parts are not plenty as well. You have to see and compare in order to order parts and be sure it will fit.
