ATTN : 2K1LX and DX Owners

I just got off the phone with Progress Auto and the Hardware kit for the 2001 Civic LX's and all DX models has been released. This hardware kit will allow you to bolt on their rear sway bar when these models originally do not come with them or a place to bolt them on from the control arm. No welding required only some minor drilling. I'm not sure if these kits will work with an OEM Bar or even the 19MM RSX bar, but I don't see why they wouldn't. I live in MA and they told me to contact Matrix Racing for the part. I'm jumping on this RIGHT NOW I suggest everyone else does too. : )

*excited*

Progress Auto Part # : 65.1006

ak can only hope to improve
Just so people know (or before someone asks)

The following come with rear anti-sway bars from Honda...

2001 + EX
2002 + LX

The rest don't have one.

edit: I believe the stock ones are 12 or 13mm.

Where did you get that price? I was told $80. By the way, if you wanted to get the control arms that would have the latches for the sway bar you'd be paying $230/piece. I had them priced already.

Well, I ordered it. $119 shipped from Tornactive.com. Not too shabby. $338 total with the rear bar too. I'll give all the details once it's installed.

Great, not as bad a price as I thought. Looking forward to those details and pics (if possible).
