you can make your own endlinks.http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...=made+endlinks

Just get the stock bushings at an Acura dealership for comfort or you can go with the aftermarket ones but you give up comfort for performance. The stock ones are dirt cheap so buy both and see which you like more.

since you have the oem 19mm rear sway your endlinks shouldn't snap, but if you put the 22mm bar on there they will for sure. i went throu a few thats why i made those upgraded endlinks

No they don't.

The progress bar snaps endlinks because they messed it up and still haven't fixed it.
The 22mm OE bars (DC5R) and their direct mimics (Comptech) do not snap endlinks. The RSX uses the same endlinks with a 21mm bar STOCK, and I don't hear they rolling off the lot and breaking.

dude, the civic endlinks are the same. i checked when i did my install. they are EXACTLY identical. if the rsx can use the 19mm with them, then my car should be ok too. and from what i learned on this site, the endlinks break when you install the sway bar upside down. just do it right

thecheat is an unknown quantity at this point
you can do bushings if you want but I wouldnt bother about the endlinks. mine are going strong two years on the car and I'm not nice to it either.
