you need an adaptor kit for it. I think neuspeed and progress have adaptor kits for the non-equipped sway bar civics.

You need these

52308-S6M-000 HOLDER, R. RR. 1 $3.18

You can get it from the website shown in that page or you can go to your local acura dealer and ask for them. It should be the same product #.

he's got a 2001 LX which has no swaybar and no endlink attachments..you'll either have to get an attachment kit or have some custom attachments made and welded on (which is what i did)

yeah he just doesn't need the holders da civic. I mean he could put the bar on the but what is the use with no endlinks. Doesn't neuspeed or progress sell the pieces for that? I know hotchkis makes endlinks or get OEM ones, so why couldn't he get a set of those, with the brackets and have them installed? Grey put the progress bar on his 2001 LX, so why couldn't this guy?

progress has a u-bolt looking thing for the endlink mounts...but i think its expensive...even more expensive than the swaybar itself

oh I didn't know. I thought he would only need the holder. Thanks for clear that up =)

OMg so how much are these endlinks? and things go for? so do u think i should go ahead and get the sway-bar ?

well the cheapest way to go is get both endlinks, bar, bushing holders, and bushings...and get someone to fabricate some mounts...i went to my local dealer and crawled under an ex just to see what the endlink attachments (brackets...whatever u wanna call them) look like..they are on the lower control arm...easy to see...

anyways...i had my uncle who builds custom trailers make me a set and weld them on for me out of a piece of 1/8th inch box mild steel and they worked beautifully

Last time I talked to them, both Greg and Rob at Hondawerx and Tornactive both stocked the Progress mounting kits and the rsx bars. Give them a hollar and they can take care of you.

The mounting kit isn't cheap, but it's the easiest and quickest route to getting it mounted. They go for, roughly, $135-140 US for the kit from the above dealers. I'm looking to buy one soon myself.

so i guess i have to drill some holes under my car (2001 civic LX sedan) to install the brackets, bushings, endlinks and the bar....damn
