My brother just recently upgraded his suspension set up in his RSX Premium and I was wondering if the sway bars and stuff that he took off would be good to use on our CIvics? Has anyone here done this yet? I know Ive seen people selling these RSX sway bars and stuff, but if my brother gives me his stuff is it worth installing? Does make much difference?

Thanks in advance.

Rear sway will fit for sure. 19mm rear sway ownz our pathetic wire hanger stock ones. Your handling will improve tremendously. I think the springs/shocks fit to some degree, don't quote me on that. Front sway I'm hearing conflicted stories about whether or not it will fit.

if u use the 19mm you are safe with the stock endlinks
but the 22mm will snap the stock endlinks like there's no tmw
i really wish honda can make beefier endlinks cuz plastic endlinks aint going to do the job

thanks guys, Ive read somewhere also that the fronts are thinner...interesting. I guess installing the rears would be nice!

The rear stiffens up the back quite a bit. I had to stiffen up my front Koni's to avoid dragging my ***

You can't use a front sway bar from a RSX/Si on a civic or EL. The cats are in different places. You can use the rear 19mm. Shocks and springs will fit with some modification, but your car will probably look funny because the springs are different lengths compared to the RSX because of weight distribution.

If anybody is looking for rear RSX sway bars I know a bunch of guys selling theirs. It's the 19mm form the Type S/Premium RSX. We all upgraded to JDM Type R 22mm rear sways.

OK I got the sway bars from my brother this weekend. THis may be a dumb question but how do you know which bar is for the rear? He gave me both but I only want to get the rear installed.

The rear is bent symmetrical (bends where they meet the endlinks are a lil different though). The front should also have more drastic bends.
