Rep Power: 316 Hey!
I recently bought an RSX-S (not R) off of a guy from Hawaii...
Just curious...how do you measure it? It's supposed to be the 19mm sway bar, but it looks like it's only 15mm (with a ruler, and eyeballing...but my eyes are bad). This is diameter.
Is there some easy way to check?

Yes it is the diameter. The stock one is 12 mm, the RSX one is supposed to be 19mm. I never measured it, but it is measured by the diameter. I wish i could get the 22mm, but it will hit my TCS.

You didnt even tell the whole story.
I was workin on the sway install while my buddy was doing the rear Tein install.
Sway bar end links are just completely *ucked thanks to Milwaukee winters. Bolts are so shot that the hex thread in the end stripped out of them. Nothing would possibly get the nuts to come off the bolts, and we couldnt even back the nuts on the bolt again so sway bar isnt even tightened down at the ends.
I cant believe Honda would sell such a cheap piece of crap for 140 bucks a pair to replace these shitty stock end links. Anyone that is replacing sway bar should probably get some nice aftermarket sway bar end links to go with it.

Rep Power: 316 CapYoda: darn, I never even thought of that.
Si, hey? hrm..
I'll have to get a decent ruler and see if that's whats going on. I bought it off of a guy on the ClubRSX forum, and he said it was an RSX-S sway bar...but I think I might've been screwed!
dang
Thanks CapYoda (again!)
