Thumbs up Just installed Type S sway bar!

I just installed my Type S rear sway bar. The endlink bolts were a pain in the *** to remove but after a hour of pain in my hand it got off. Everything else was easy on the install. I just follwed the DIY I found on the site. Very helpful.

As for it improving handling. Well it made a bigg differnce in handling. The back end just is stuck on the road the whole time. A lot of body roll was gone after installing this bar. It feels a lot more pinned to the ground. I would reccomend this bar 100% especially since its not that expensive.

Type S sway bar

^ I have one and my car isn't lowered. There is less body roll and understeer. It makes the most difference for the price of pretty much any mod, I think.

just wondering if you need to use the 8x18 BOLT, FLANGE (the bolt that holds the bushing holder), or can you use the stock bolts?

I have a friend who is trying to get an integra TypeR rear bar for his rsx type s, I think he wants 70 for his stock one. I dont know what they cost at a dealership. His has about 15k on it and it will come with the bushings.
