My progress rear sway bar broke my...
stock end link on the left side, which connects the control arm to the sway bar... i remember somebody saying that somebody on a rsx fourm had the same problem...
i just also found out that 2 bushings in the front a-arms are ripped... i can't take it to honda because my warrentee was up 1,000 miles ago...
so if you get upgraded sway bars, remember to upgrade your endlinks... to hotchkins or something....

Rep Power: 417 ya thats why i recommend 19mm if you dont get new endlinks...
maybe you can still get honda to warranty it? just replace it with your stock sway bar. i forgot what it was called but they have this thing where they'll warranty your car even if its a little over like in your situation.. sometimes they just make you pay for labor and parts is free(better then nothing)

Rep Power: 403 the front bushings are only 10 bucks a piece, i need 2, and the rear end like wont be more than 15 bucks... then labor...
yea, well i am going to get a new stock endlink for now, im saving up for some forged 17's and the tien flex. when i get the front sway bar im going to buy Hotchkis endlinks , on a rsx fourm they are going for 155 for all 4 shipped!!! if any endlinks break again, i will jsut have to buy the Hotchkis endlinks.
i do drive hard, common, the only freeways in LA, Cali. i drive are the 110 pasadena freeway(very dangerous, with lots of turns) and the 134(wide open)
im still waiting for my progress front x-brace which should be comming soon.

when the endlink broke did you noties it or did it just drive like normel? Because people tell me I drive my car hard and I don't want to be driving though turns and spend out because the endlink break.

Rep Power: 403 yea i mean Neuspeed X-Brace... it should be here in a few days, umm i didn't even notice it untill i was getting my cf exhaust put on and my car was in the air...
i just got my new endlink put intoday and i found out that my left end link(the one that broke) was made of plastic and the right one didn;'t break, that one was metal. the new one honda gave me was made out of metal also...?
i didn't notice it when my endlink broke... but now that it was put on, i can drift again now...(throw back end around).
