I installed it myself, no welding, just drilling!

And yes, it was the best mod I have ever done on my car

Big has progress rear sway bar...progress comes with adaptor kit that need to drill thru and bolt-on the endlinks...and then bolt-on the sway bar...

I got the 02 civic endlinks and find pieces of metal and weld it on, then bolt on my RSX-S 19mm with energy suspension bushing...

only 01 civic dx/lx doesn't have stock rear sway bar...so if you got 01 civic Si/EX or 02+civic, then it is an easy job...

if you get progress rear sway bar and the adaptor kit for 01 civic dx/lx, then as Big said, just DIY...most difficult part is drilling...

I did it @ honda dealer in london, their labour rate is expensive compare to other shops...well at least they do it right...3 hours job for them...
