how did your install go? have n e probs with the endlinks
nope. no problems so far. got Grey's endlinks on it. install went good. only took about 15 minutes and the results are awesome. i find myself intentionally taking turns faster now because the car stays so much more level. it's awesome!!! i highly recommend it to anyone. the stock 12mm looked like a toothpick next to the RSX swaybar. i've got pics in another thread if anyone's interested.
lucky u got your endlinks off... dud u let it sit with some pb blaster or liquid wrench or wd40?? or did urs come right off?
nope. i just put a standard ratchet on the nut and it came right off. it was on pretty tight and i busted some knuckles, but it didn't give me any trouble. i didn't even have to use an allen wrench. in fact, i didn't even know about that part untill after i was already done. overall, it was very easy to do.
u mean the whole thing didnt turn all together?!?!? arg! like which end of the indlink did u take off? the part connected to the car or the part connected to the sway bar??

i took it off from the car. i left the stock links on the stock bar. no, they didn't turn at all. in theory, if you take it off from the car side, that nut will be tight against the car braket which doesn't turn. so when you break the nut loose, the car isn't going to move and it will come off. i wouldn't take it off from the bar. the only reason to do that would be to use the stock links with a different bar or use the stock bar with upgraded links. either one would be a waste. if you're going to do an upgraded bar, get upgraded endlinks.
If all of your suspension components are stock then the 19mm is plenty. It reduces understeer and give the car a more neutral feel.
If your car is an 01-02, then the 19mm rear is a good match with the 25mm front. Honda reduced the size of the front sway bar in the later years so I am not sure how the 19mm or larger would feel on those models.
i happen to be one of the unlucky souls with the 16mm front sways and an rsx 19mm and for me it feels great the car is a tad bit tail happy but thats ok thats what i like. ive been told for road racing/autox the set up im running right now is perfect so im leaving it that way

u still needed an hexkey/allen wrench for the lower part??
i'm not sure what lower part you're talking about. the lower part of the links on my car was the part that bolted to the car. i didn't need an allen wrench for anything.
