Actually, people with the 19mm (RSX) sway bar didn't have this problem. Their end-links hold up just fine under all conditions as they should since Honda (Acura) designed them to work with the 19mm sway bar. Now, I only heard of the end-links breaking in an RSX with a 22mm rear sway bar under severe repeated cornering in an autocross event.

Rep Power: 418 Well, the tie bar just stiffens the chassis so there's less chance of buckling. The end-links are still the stock with the Progress 22mm rear sway bar upgrade. That is unless you do what I did. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Buy a Progress mounting kit. I had to do that since I have an LX, but I'm glad that I did. No way are my end-links going to break now.

Rep Power: 0 I've had my 19mm RSX sways on for many months without a lower tie bar and stock endlinks. I think I'm fine for now. If I ever wish to step up, I'll defintely look into the Hotchkiss 25.4mm rear sway and endlinks...

Rep Power: 367 there's plenty of DIY if you search for it again in the suspension forum. make sure u select "archieved messages" because these are things done long ago.
bolts right on 01 EX; 02+ LX, EX, HX...
if you dont have any one of those.. you'll need an endlink mounting kit... either get it done at a shop or get a custom one from Progress.
all u really need is a 14, 12mm socket wrench/wrench... and an allen wrench...

Rep Power: 0 i checked on hondawerx.com and they only have 22mm progress anti-sway bars but i didnt see the rsx 19mm one, how much is it and i think i read on another thread that if u didnt drop ur car and u add a stronger sway bar, then it could promote oversteer becasue the center of gravity or something is not balanced? can somebody plz clarify thanks

Here are the correct part numbers when ordering:
35902 - SPRING, RR. (19MM) (need 1)
35948 - BUSH (19MM) (need 2)
35958 - HOLDER, R. RR. (need 1)
35971 - HOLDER, L. RR. (need 1)
Total cost for those parts is $78.37 plus shipping, which was $10 for me.
As far as oversteer, the 19mm really balances out the car by lessening the understeer, but oversteer really isn't a problem. BTW all my other suspension is stock.
