2001 civic ex coupe sway bar?

01 civic ex coupe with 215-45-17 and coilovers dropped 1.75 rear/ 1.5 front
would a aftermarket rear sway bar improve anything??? If yes, what brand, size and where to purchase it. Also, will anything special be needed to instal, or does it a direct bolt on swap part????

Yea, there have been great reviews on the RSX OEM sway bar. $75 at the dealer, $82 on hondawerx.com

Go through the menus... RSX-S, Lower Rear Arm
You need the sway bar, 2 bushings, 2 new brackets.

i went to a Acura dealship this last weekend and i was going to order the sway bar, but there is no 19mm sway bar, it is a 23mm sway bar,

i guess the new RSX comes with a 23mm not a 19mm, it is going for about $170

i odered it so i will know this weekend on how it fells

what you ordered was the Integra type R sway bar.

DO NOT put it on without a rear lower tie bar.
