Dude, u shouldve searched a little before puchasing. I hav a 2001 lx also. Our car does not come with a rear sway bar stock, which means it does not hav the mounting brackets to mount the bar. U need to buy a Progress adapter kit just to be able to install the rear sway bar, http://www.robearracing.com/pd_progr...ar_adapter.cfm . So u will need to install that first.
Also, if the eibach kit doesnt come with one, u will need a lower rear tie bar cus the rear sway bar adds extra pressure to ur rear suspension so u need the tie bar to keep everything together. U should also look into gettin a upper front strut bar. That will give u an even better handling feel and will help to offset the bigger front sway bar.

I am pretty sure that Eibach has all the nessassary hardware to install it without buying the Progress kit. I know Eibach makes one cause I called them to see about replacing my rear end links with Eibachs and the rep. told me the kit just comes with OEM endlinks so I would not be upgrading.
I have the lower tie bar already and front struts i have it already....
So what kind of parts do i need in order to get this install?
And the eibach kit doesn't come wif the hardware......
any help would be neccessaire...... thank you

You need to buy Stock Endlinks or Aftermarket endlinks to put rear sway bar.
You will also have to redrill couple holes(For the Sway bar Bushings) in order to install Eibach Rear sway bar.
25mm front and 23mm rear.
I don't see why you bought Eibach Front sway bar.
They are almost identical as Stock Front sway bar, Which is 25.4mm.
Eibach sways are hollow and although lighter, won't have the stiffness of the same size solid bar.

i am looking into the eibach sway's for the simple reason that it is a complete kit and everything is going to work properly the first time. will not have to worry about the exhaust hitting, etc.. they make great products so i don't see why they would be bad. paired with eibach springs i think the car would handle awesome.
