RSX rear sway and front sway? good combo?

Hey,
I got a 03 Civic ex. I dont know what mm front sway, but im getting the rsx rear sway. I can get the rsx front sway, would that be a good combo to work with? Lemme know asap. I dont know what mm the front sway is but i think that the rsx is bigger so it would be a something mm front/19mm rear. is that good? Im new to it so help me out. Thanks to everyone in advance

The front rsx sway won't fit into the civic(due to diff location of the endlink I believe) However the rear one will fit without any problem.

you might find the 19mm rsx rear bar coupled with the 15.9mm front bar to be a bit too much. look around, some people have commented on this.

I am running a 17mm rear from 04 civic si with my 15.9mm front. I'm liking it so far. better than the 15mm rear i was using before from 03 si. 19mm might be a bit too much. depends on your driving preference of course

This has been discussed before. It depends on how you want your set up to be. If you want more oversteer when you lift of throttle in corners, get the rear 19mm bar and stay stock up front. If you dont want that, get a thicker front and rear bar. A lot of ppl here either have the Progress rear sway, RSX rear sway bar, or Neuspeed.

Someone is lying.

Next time use the SEARCH function up to to find the answers. Here are few things I found

No you can't fit a RSX or Si front sway bar. The list of current aftermarket sway bars are in the FAQ which can be found in my signature.

Yeah, I didn't think of the cat. I have an LX. That's why. I bought the Progress front sway bar and it's the same one as that for the RSX. Progress says it fits all Civics. I noticed that the bend is in fact pushed over to one side. What's the truth? Will the RSX front sway bar fit an EX Civic? Who knows for sure? Who's tried it?
Seems like it will fit DX/LX because the cat is not in the way.
