very easy install.
1. Jack the car up
2. unbolt then rebolt the new sway bar in
3. only hard part is the endlinks ... you need a vice-grab the bolt from rotating then you can unscrew the bolt off.

it's really simple...... the hardest part is breaking free the nuts and bolts cuz of the rust....
1. jack up car and put on jack stands
2. loosen the endlinks from the sway bar
3. loosen the braket bolts
(now all the tension is released)
4. take out all bolts and take sway bar off
5. take careful note of which side is which, they are different and this is crucial
6. put new sway bar in and reverse the procedure.
note: once on the ground, nothing should be touching, if the sway bar is touching the lower control arm, you've put it on backwards!
good luck, should take you about 30-45 mins with normal hand tools.

i got mine installed when i had my exhaust installed.
with the looks of it... i could of easily done it myself...
it's basically what cosmicjim said... it shouldnt take you more then half hour.
if you need help.. let me know.
i might be doing some more work to my front lights... whitehousing maybe.
i could prolly help you then...
and since your car is new.. there shouldnt be any rust on your bolts. which should make it a lot easier.
my car is about a year's old on the road.... and there was rarely any rust on my bolts.

I won't affect any muffler that you install.... If it fits with the stock sway bar, it will fit with the RSX sway, the design is the same, it's only thicker.
Install is very easy, like I said before if you need help... I'll help you out. The other thing that you need aside from the sway bar and the bushings that it came with is some lithium grease. I can bring this for you guys when you do it at Telly's place. I've had mine for a while and I say it's the best mod for suspension and control.
Let me know when y'all do it.. I'll be there!
