Says in your profile you've got an EX sedan. Thus you already have a sway bar, which means you can re-use your stock sway bar brackets, but you'll need new bushings. If they didn't come with your bar, you can buy a pair from your local Acura dealership for about $20 for the pair (or less). You can reuse your stock endlinks, but those bastard things have a tendency to strip thus making it hard to remove...you may have to resort to ripping the suckers off and replacing with new ones from Honda...but I recommend Grey's endlinks (contact him via PM or search the forum for details). Install is pretty easy.

I live to give. And also take, with extreme force. Enjoy the sway bar, you'll be cornering like a go-kart, it's great!

RedDragon333 will become famous soon enough
I didnt have to use gresy endlinks. Once i figured out how to remove the sway bar from the stock endlinks it was an easy install. Just remember to have the proper allen wrench and some WD40

i got the ES bushings and the stock brackets for the oem sway bar don't seem to want to fit over the ES. Did I not try hard enough or should i pick up some rsx brackets? right now i'm using the brackets that came with the ES bushings
