Ok....so after getting my tail whooped at the track by every car......I was happy to see what the mailman brought me today.....my RSX Type-S 19mm Rear Sway Bar WITH Energy Suspension bushings....not 1 set, BUT 2 SETS.....I bought it off of a clubrsx.com member for $40 SHIPPED FOR THE WHOLE DEAL.....I got a great deal, since I know just the bars alone go for 60-80 normally.....I took some pics....enjoy

HyeHonda05

iTrader: (7)

HAHAH...welll, I didnt have any REAL problems...except one HUGE stupid mistake that was quickly fixed....me and my roommate were trying to put it on and we ended up putting the bar on backwards like IDIOTS...soo, after I got it off the jack...the back end of my car was like a 4x4 because all of the weight was resting on the bar and my rear subframe...sooo, after I took it for a ride and it bounced around like I had blown struts, I came and back and looked at my roommate and said we def put this on backwards....lol...we quickly fixed it....That was the only real problem....smoothe other than that

why cant you take you endlinks off...whats the problem with them?

LT2004ever

iTrader: (2)

like when i turn them ther whole joint at the top rotates, so i put an allen wrench in there and it still didnt budge!!! imma try again tomorrow... if its a no go, then imma sell the sway bar.

btw are u using stock endlinks for your bar?

HyeHonda05

iTrader: (7)

I had teh same problem...dont sell the bar......Heres what to do

Use the allen wrench and an adjustable wrench...you need to push the allen wrench in tight...make sure you keep the whole endlink completely still and just turn away little by little....it would be ALOT easier if you had another set of hands that would hold the allen wrench while you try to turn the nut off...
I am use stock endlinks since I only have 40k on my car....let me know if you have any more questions

LT2004ever

iTrader: (2)

see thats what me and my friend tried! gah but that stupid nut wont come off!!

HyeHonda05

iTrader: (7)

you just gotta keep at it...the driver side one took about 25 minutes to get off...use alot of WD-40 before you get at it........it should come off after a while...just make sure the endlink is not moving at all, otherwise its just wasted effort......

LT2004ever

iTrader: (2)

gah man i have hit it with a gallon of wd-40! lol

HyeHonda05

iTrader: (7)

lol....dang...sounds like you are just plain old out of luck......I mean, me and my roommate had to work mine around for a little but, but it eventually came off....I guess your screwed...all I can say is dont give up....its worth the effort..TRUST ME

HyeHonda05

iTrader: (7)

I found mine real cheap...$40 shipped...pretty much cant beat that...and it came with 2 sets of ES bushings

My endlinks were rusted on as well. I ending up cutting the damn nuts off and ordering new endlinks from Majestic. Needless to say I'm not known for my patience. But since you can't hit them with a torch - rubber and plastic seals + heat = mess on the floor (trust me on this!), that's your only other option. Especially if you round out the damn allen key holes.

My front endlinks were like that when I replaced my stock 15.9mm front sway with an 02 DX 25.4mm sway...It took us 2 hours to take off nuts and we ended up stripping both of them in the process...I almost said screw and and just cut the endlinks and buy new ones from the local Honda dealership....I just ended up buying the new nuts.....

iTrader: (5)

it gave me problems as well.. took me three tries. then i did a lil trick to help.
i used a bar(i used the bar that u use for the scissor jack) and rested one end on the control arm while holding the other end with my hand. i made it so that the allen key would rest on that bar and turned the nut with a wrench. so, the allen key stayed in place while i turned the nut. It was way easier this way since i didnt have to hold that damn allen key which ****ed my hand up. hope this helps

HyeHonda05

iTrader: (7)

thats a good idea.......I wish I would have thought of that

LT2004ever

iTrader: (2)

i have tried everything, i think imma just cut the nuts off and call it a day ya know...

HyeHonda05

iTrader: (7)

sounds like a plan....I dont think nuts cost too much anyways.....its worth it....this bar is amazing...I tested it out today around some curvy roads near my apartment, I can easily take turns at least 10 mph faster...I love it...so much more stable.....

speedricerx

iTrader: (5)

lt have u tried what i said to do? it was so easy that way

LT2004ever

iTrader: (2)

yea, but the allen wrench stripped the hole... so now im up a creek...

^you really have some problems w/ installs huh? are you using the right tools?

I'm going to be doing this install sometime soon, cept w/ a Progress (fatty) bar.. but I have drill holes into the the mounting point.. I don't have a stock swaybar

HyeHonda05

iTrader: (7)

I wanted the progress front and rear sways...but, this way was sooo much cheaper...I paid 40 for my rear and 30 for my front.....pretty much cant beat that...although, I probably will upgraded later on to progress sways when I get more money......

LT2004ever

iTrader: (2)

yea im using all the right tools, its just my car's undersidehates me! like in the beginning the hex key fit perfectly no movement, then wrench fit perfectly no movement, i thought the wd40 and the pb blaster was working perfectly... but now after like a million or so tries the hex key now wobbles a a but, and after all the pb blaster its covered in rust at least at that tip. deude i make sure to use the right tools, its just i have all sorts of problems under there....

which sway bars should i get for an 05 ex ( i am talking about changing the front to a dx and the rear to rsx)

LT2004ever

iTrader: (2)

front keep your ex front sway...rear go rsx.

HyeHonda05

iTrader: (7)

Yeah, just keep the front sway....its 15.9mm. your rear is 12mm. Swap the rear for either a 19mm RSX Type-S (02-04) or a 21mm RSX TYPE-S (05-06) or you can be bold and get a JDM ITR 22mm (which can be found on ebay for 70 shipped). I made the mistake of swapping my front sway for the 25.4mm 02 DX bar and I had sooo much understeer until I swapped in the 19mm rear sway. now it stays more neutral in the turns, with only a slight bit of understeer, which I can deal with.
