Rear Sway bar on 2001 LX?

I have a 2001 LX, which comes with no rear sway bar. I know Progress has a mounting kit that allows you to install a rear sway bar.

My question are:

Is Progress the only company with this kind of product out?

If i get this mounting kit do i have to use the progress sway bar on could i use the neuspeed one?

Thanks in advance.

i think progress is the one with a kit. You can get all the pieces from a honda dealer. My suggestion is to get the progress set, plus Grey's endlinks. The neuspeed one is way over priced.

Which parts are you referring to? The mounting point for the endlinks on the arm? If so, thats what the progress kit replaces, along with the endlink itself. Check out this pic showing the removal of the stock bar. That part on the bottom where the endlink mounts to the arm is not there. Plus it's welded on, so you can't get it from the dealer.


On the '01 LX, all DX and all HX, you'll need the following parts:
Progress mounting kit or custom made endlink mounting point.
RSX or aftermarket bar.
Bushings and holders if using RSX (included with aftermarket bars)
Replacing the Progress endlinks is up to you. They're better than the stock endlinks on the EX, but not as good as Grey's.

The Progress kit installation instructions are not the best, but luckily Grey's DIY covers it all. His DIY is HERE.
Or you can get my PDF with added info and more pics HERE.

Here's a pic of my RSX bar attached to the Progress kit on the driver side, just to give you an idea of how it works. I rotated the tires the other day and got a good pic of it.
