I called up Downtown Acura to get a price on an RSX Type-S sway bar. Here's the breakdown:

"The price of the spring is $102.87, the stabilizer bushing is $10.34, and
the 2 holders are $8.64 each." - e-mail from rep. at North Town Acura

(Sorry, I can't seem to make the columns lign up)

Product Number...Description.................Quantity..... .Unit Price...Total Price
52300-S6M-A01...SPRING, RR. (19MM)*......1.............$102.87.....$102.87
52306-S6M-A01...BUSH (19MM)*................2.............$10.34....... $20.68

95701-08018-08.BOLT, FLANGE (8X18).....4.............$0.75............$3.00

TOTAL = $143.83CDN

This same parts list was posted in the FAQ, the total there was $80.25USD. Add shipping (probably about $30CDN), exhange (total = $105.60), possible duty ($???) and headaches of shipping stuff across the border...

Looks like I'm buying mine here in Toronto.

Not a bad price for brand new. If you wanna spend another $30 on top of that you can grab a DC5-R 22mm rear sway with Energy Suspension bushings (comes with holders).....

60 bucks used?

I've heard 20+mm sway bars have too harsh of a ride. Given that this is a Honda OEM part, it's quality is probably much higher than most other ones on sale.

I don't care, I'm going for it in the spring.

It's true the ride gets harsher with a thicker bar but it does with a performance suspension too.

Don't get me wrong though - my 22m is OEM honda too...just in Japan, heh heh.

i got the rsxS sway bar. personally i dont feel any real difference. considering that i have tein's and i can set my suspension from soft to stiff.. but im guessing its a good thing to have.
ive rather get the progress sway bar.. now that is a real upgrade hehe, a bit pricey though in my opinion.

Agreed, Progress seems a little steep, considering what you have on there now. Hey Boo, do you drive your car in the winter? If so: how are they holding up to the snow and slush?

hmm.. yea i drive in the winter with 5 ppl in my car.. almost everyday and i can tell u i pretty much hit any snow/ice boulder on the highway or on the street..
but i wash off the salt off every other week so im guess its ok.. plus its set all the way to its lowest.
and i have changed the stiffness to super soft.. so i dont bounce all the way to the guard rail >,<

Nice. I'm gonna grab me some Hayames this spring....I hope I have enough to start renting.

Ya, I'm DEFINITELY going to install some Hayames in the spring. One of my front shocks is clunking pretty bad. From what I've heard, this is a common Honda problem. Unfortunately my car has high miles (109K Kms), so it's past warranty. Besides, I want a sportier feel. My last car was a Miata and well - once you've driven one of those anything else will feel like a 1981 Oldmobile Delta-88. Mushy-mushy. I don't expect the same crisp handling, but at least an improvement.

I saw someone on here that was offering an RSX-S sway bar with bushings for 80 bucks CDN. PM's him - hopefully that will go through. Still looking for the best price on wheels. I have snow tires on my stock 15" alloys (I have a 1.7EL). I'm looking at 17"s now - lowest price I can find on a good set of 17s with rubber is around 1500CDN...
