No, that's not a sway bar. It looks like something else. Maybe that comes with the performance package that Honda came out with? Interesting... Looks like it only mounts with one bolt though. That couldn't be a strut bar, could it? From the illustration is looks like it's in the spot of a strut bar. It's only available for the 2002 model year, 'cause if you select 2001 it doesn't show that. Check it: FRONT SUB FRAME Look at that though. There's a 10 and an 11. The 11 is entitled "ROD, SUB-FRAME PERFORMANCE", but the 10 isn't listed. Check out the bend in 11. It looks like it's designed to clear an aftermarket intake.
its "Front and Rear Stabilizer Bars". goto www.cars.com and look up features. it says 02s have it but 01s dont. i know the front one is right below the tie rod cause i remember seeing it while doing my springs..

It's a front lower tie bar...basiclly makes the crossection a little more sturdy[hr]
Are you 100% sure about that? That makes sense that it only uses one bolt. The front sub frame is kinda low too, so it makes sense that that category would include all other parts which are that low. I have a 2001, and for only $29.63 I wouldn't mind a front tie bar. Maybe I should be the guinea pig? I wonder if I'll need the bolts as well? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

No no, "stabilizer bars" are otherwise called sway bars or anti-roll bars. I know that for a fact. They're talking about the sway bars.
Found something...

[hr]The Civic Hybrid uses a special performance rod, located in front of the steering box, for increased steering assembly rigidity. A control bracket has also been added near the ends of the steering assembly, which further braces the steering assembly. These changes enhance the handling characteristics of the Civic Hybrid, and allow for the vehicle to best utilize the full potential of the newly added Electric Power Steering system (EPS).[hr]
It's about the Civic Hybrid, but I think this is the part we're talking about. I tried looking for the spot where it would mount, but I can't seem to find it. I would have to take a look at the 2002 Civic personally to compare it with mine.
I'm not sure? It would be great it someone could find out. It would be even greater if someone could snap a few pics of it. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
and another thing, I checked and the DX doesn't have it. HX, LX and EX has it though. Its not a FP package deal, since it comes with the HX, LX, and EX.
I wonder why there's two different part though. 10, and 11. I was thinking 10 is for the sedan? But probably not. Couldn't check too, front subframe isn't listed if I choose sedan. weird.
I posted about this before.. I mean, I was wondering if the RSX one would work... I never realized the 2002 had one though. hmp.
see the #5 in the rsx would be a lower rear tie bar cause its short.
i know they added a sway bar on the lx but not the dx but those dont really look like sway bars.
but ya like i said, theres this one bar, under the tie rod. it only has like one bolt on each side of the car. this is on my 02. check and see if its on the 01. i would take pics but i dont have a digicam. its probably that but what it is, i have no idea...
the #5 for the rsx doesn't seem like where it usually goes for a lower rear tie bar... you know how the rear LCA look right? well it should bolt on the other way then... not that way...
I know for sure the 01s dont have it, I haven't seen anything like htat before.
I was considering getting them but I have no idea where to bolt them onto. heh.
