Need help finding new sway bar bushings and brackets for rsx rear sway bar?
Ok, I talked with grey and he said I am going to need to get new sway bar bushings and brackets for the rsx rear sway bar. Well he said to go to jegs.com, but I cant find anything on there. Does anyone know if I need the parts made for the rsx or parts made for the 2k1 civic? Also if you have a link to either parts or both, please help me out, thanks.

Rep Power: 413 355-9-5156G 3/4'' $13.99
355-9-5156R 3/4'' $13.99
Get the G because it is black. Black ones are better than the Red ones.

Jegs also charges you a handling fee, so they're closer to $20 shipped.
FYI, I got those ES bushings from JEGS as well, they're good. Quicker response, and slightly rougher ride quality. BUT, they are thicker and pushed the bar out and into my exhaust, rattle rattle. I could have moved the exhaust or wrapped the bar, but bah I'll probably sell the car next year anyways, so I just sold them.

Rep Power: 413 It comes with a set of 2. R is red, G is black. You can call jegs or ES and ask them, but my box came with two bushings. 3/4" = 19mm. Well actually 19mm = .748" but close enough. Just get 1 set.

Straight from ES's website:
Color Code for sway bar bushing sets, add: G- black, R- red.
Example- #9.5151R = red
Performance Sway Bar Bushing Sets- Greaseable Type
For the maximum performance benefit from the products shown on this page, use these sway bar bushings with the performance polyurethane sway bar End Link items found on the End Link page: END LINK PRODUCTS.
To find the correct greaseable bushing set for your vehicle–choose the sway bar bracket type that most closely matches your vehicle's existing ones. Then use the "A" sway bar diameter measurement shown in the diagrams that matches the diameter of your vehicle's sway bar. Choose the part number from either of the two columns.
Sway Bar Diameter "A" Greaseable Set # Greaseable Set #.
7/16" / 11mm 9.5151 .
1/2" / 13mm 9.5152 .
9/16" / 14mm 9.5153 .
5/8" / 16mm 9.5154 .
11/16" / 17.5mm 9.5155 .
3/4" / 19mm 9.5156 .
13/16" / 20.5mm 9.5157 .
7/8" / 22mm 9-.5158 .
23mm 9.5159 .
15/16" / 24mm 9.5160 .
1" / 25mm 9.5161 .
1 1/16" / 27mm 9.5162 9.5169
28mm 9.5163 .
1 1/8" / 28.5mm 9.5164 9.5170
1 3/16" / 30mm . 9.5171
1 1/4" / 31.5mm 9.5165 9.5172
32mm 9.5166 .
1 5/16" / 33mm 9.5167 .

Rep Power: 413 yes #6 and whatever the corresponding numbers are. You might think about getting some poly ones. They are about the same price and better.

Rep Power: 413 no. it is just a sway bar bushing, it has very little to do with ride quality. It is just reduces movement of the sway bar that rubber bushings usually allow.
YES. You will notice a slight difference in ride quality, I noticed the difference the most when going over uneven pavement (construction areas). There is so much construction work on my daily commute that I finally just sold all my poly bushings and the ride is not as harsh. I miss the quicker response though.
