wouldnt a 22mm rear sway bar on the em2/es1 crack the factory brackets eventually because its normally meant to handle only 14mm (EX OEM size)?

ive heard of people using the OEM brackets with 19mm rear rsx sway and cracking. when i hooked up my progress 22mm on my dc5 with OEM bracket/bushing, it snapped. so i replaced with hotchkis*

dc5 or dc5r? DC5 the new sway is 21mm, the dc5R is 22mm. I think you will need new brackets.

I've had the comptech 22mm bar on my car and everything fits fine.

If you get a 22mm you need the bushings for it. But the stock brackets will work for the dc5R sway bar

You don't need new brackets, the RSX brackets are the same, the insert bushing has a bigger hole in it. the sway bar is not going to break those brackets off.
We've been though this 500 times.
