RSX Front Sway Bar
Well I had a mix-up at the Acura dealership today, and I found out they ordered me the wrong sway bar... They ended up giving the front RSX sway bar... Well I was wondering if that would fit our Civics. Thanks!

Rep Power: 419 I think it will fit. I'm 80% sure that it will fit in perfectly. It might be a slightly different shape, but the chassis and frame is the same, so... It should fit.

Rep Power: 419 It should be. Solid bars are not cheap to make and don't make sense since the stiffness of a bar (in twisting) is directly proportional to the amount of material furthest from the center of the bar. Hence, two bars... Each made of the same amount of material... One is of a larger diameter with a smaller wall thickness and one is of a smaller diameter with a larger wall thickness. Which one is "stiffer"? The one with the larger diameter. Anyway, that was kinda off topic.

Rep Power: 0 Oh ok, thanks everybody!
Well I told them they ordered me the wrong one! I wanted the REAR RSX sway bar not the FRONT, and the guy was like there's no such OEM bar for the RSX... I'm like YES THERE IS! Then I told them just to check again, and I proved him wrong.(What an idiot! He's also the parts manager too!) Then I got the front one returned without paying any restocking fee,(they better not make me pay for their mistake!) and I also got a refund cause the front one cost more than the rear one...

Rep Power: 419 Hmm... Let me modify my statement then. It will fit the DX/LX/HX.
Yeah, I didn't think of the cat. I have an LX. That's why. I bought the Progress front sway bar and it's the same one as that for the RSX. Progress says it fits all Civics. I noticed that the bend is in fact pushed over to one side. What's the truth? Will the RSX front sway bar fit an EX Civic? Who knows for sure? Who's tried it?
