Next is if I was saleing a DC sport lower tie bar would anyone buy it for $100 I have picture of it if anyone want to see.

There probably will be no difference from the DC sports to the spoon tie bar. Have you even upgraded your rear sway bar?? If not, then there is no need for a tie bar.
The bar should fit. I do believe it DOES NOT work with our stock bolts and you will have to drill your own into the chassis.

Rep Power: 419 Which lower tie bar are you talking about? The one for the front or the one for the rear. I think the one for the rear is the same on the RSX and the Si, so no problem there. The one for the front is a different story. The RSX and the Si have K series engines, so it stands to reason that they have similiar front engine mount thingies (forget the name). I think the Civic's engine cradle (is that the name?) has different mounting points up front for something like a tie bar. Then again, the Neuspeed cross bar fits for the Civic and the RSX (not sure about Si). Anyway, yeah... If the cross bar from Neuspeed fits (and it does), then the Spoon Sports front tie bar will fit as well.
There, problem solved. Al of the bars will fit.

Rep Power: 0 Yes robbclark1, I have upgrade my sway bar to the progress 22mm rear sway bar.
That why Im thinking about getting the spoon sport tie bar, because some people think
the DC sport tie bar is weack and won't protect my chassy very will and it starting to worry me. do you really have to drill holes for the rear tie bar if it for the RSX/SI??

Rep Power: 424 I still don't understand what you think is so bad about the Progress tie bar is... the whole point is that they work as a set. 
Prices are gonna run $130+
The pain in the *** of the install is the lower arms move when you pull the bolts out and you need to fight them back into alignment to get the bolts back in.

Rep Power: 0 will the only problem I have with it is that when I try putting the progress tie bar on it didn't fit. Do you really have to drill holes for the spoon lower tie bar from the RSX/SI?????????

Rep Power: 424 It goes onto the bolts for the suspension arms. You don't have to drill anything. Just pull the bolt out, put the end brackets on, bolt it back in, and put the bar in between. Inanimatecarbonrod did a DIY, search for it. Who told you you had to drill?

Rep Power: 424 Ok... the 2 bolts there are the ones that hold your lower suspension arms to the car. You simply remove them, put the Spoon endlinks on, bolt it all back together and using the supplied hardware, attach the bar between the endlinks. Done, end of story.
The only Lower Rear bar you need to drill for is the Neuspeed one.
You guys probably read Grey's DIY and he had to drill because he's got an 01 LX that did not have a sway bar from the factory.
