What is needed for RSX sway bar installation?

I just ordered the RSX sway bar from Acura using a 15% off coupon, and wanted to know what I need besides the bar for installation. I ordered the bushings but do I need the endlinks or anything else other than the bushings to install the bar on my 2002 EX?

mounting brackets are the same. pretty sure i used 14 and 17mm sockets, and a 5mm hex wrench. that's it. maybe wd-40 to loosen the endlinks, it's kinda tough to get them off.

Hey Mex, what do you mean by "mounting brackets" ? Are those the holders?

All you need are the bushings and the bar. I installed my 22mm DC5R one... it's pretty easy... and all you need are 4 tools.

That's all you need, trust me. It's on my car and for it to be put on, all you needed were the bushings. Everything else that's used is what kept the previous one on there. You have everything you need.
