this is mainly opinion, but 22mm is too thick to be putting on a civic. its almost unnecessary. the 19mm sway bars are supposed to be a nice upgrade. if you are refering to the rear sway bar being installed onto the LX coupe or sedan, i believe there is drilling needed to attach the sway bar mounting brackets.

as for the installation, if you have an EX, then the links provided will be sufficient, but if you have an LX, you will need to search around some more for more RSX sway bar installs. i know for a fact that there is a DIY for the RSX sway bar onto an LX, its just that i dont wanna go searching for it since im not doing the install.
g'luck!

The RSX-S 19mm is more than enough.

I'm getting one from a clubrsx.com member for $50 with brushings.

As far as I know, both Base and Type S are 19mm. They do have suspension differences (Type S is a bit lower I believe), but the sway bar is the same.
