Grey's endlinks just lessen the chance of breaking an endlink. With a 19mm OEM bar you probably won't have to worry but since they're coming with the bar than why not. They won't do any harm although I've heard they can be noisey if not greased enough.

Well the Progress bar is 22mm and a different design than OEM. Some use the Progress bar and their endlinks are fine other have broken theirs. I've only heard/seen cases of the Progress bar breaking them. I have yet to hear/see a case where any other 22mm or larger bar has broken stock endlinks. If you want a 22mm there are other options out there. A OEM ITR or any of the aftermarket 22mm bars for the rsx will bolt up.

If you go to a 22mm you will also need to get a rear tie bar. The stock attachment points are not strong enough to hold something that stiff.
Also, bigger is not always better. You should plan and match your suspension mods. Going with a 22mm and leaving everything else stock will most certainly result in oversteer and possible instability.
You NEED to have a tie bar? That's news to me. I know it's a reinforcement but guys have been running 22mm bars and no tie bars with no problems. I'm not saying you're wrong but I don't think it's a absolute must.

Thats debateable. The old civic/integras were known to have this problem, but it hasnt seemed to materialize with this gen chassis. I've been running a 25.4mm rear bar for over 2 years (of compeditive driving) with no brace and there hasnt been any damage or issues.

"I know Solo only comes one minute at a time, but what an intense, non-stop, fast-forward car control exercise minute it is. Sure, the velocity is higher in road racing, but inside the car it is slow-motion in comparison. In Solo, the turns come like machine-gun rounds. "

If you've had good experience without the tie bar, then all the more power to ya! Maybe its not a real problem with this gen like you say (Zzyzx) and its more of a precautionary measure due to legacy problems on previous generations.
Either way, its up to you to do what's best for your own car and discussions like these will at least educate everyone.

Like did you have a problem with this? or know of anyone that did, cause if so i just wanna ask what was it like, like how the car responded.

Alright, so i decided i'd go with the RSX's Rear sway bar, but i heard that the Type-S is 21mm and the RSX(base) is 19mm. Say i wanted the 21mm, what what years would be the best fit for my 01 Ex Coupe?

If you look at older gens you can see the chassis is significantly flimsier. The new chassis is much better in terms of its rigidity, except it is heavier.
LT, the 06 RSX-S has a 21mm bar, but I believe all the ones before that have a 19mm (base and S). You can get the RSX-R 22mm bar.
Any bar from the RSX will fit.

So let's say "theoretically" a car already has tein s-tech springs with tokico blues and a neuspeed strut bar. The progress would be good since the car's already going in a more aggressive suspension direction?
