tie bars on a 04 vp

since the 04 vp's don't have sway bars from the factory how would you mount an aftermarket one? THanks

You need to buy the Progress Swaybar mounting kit.

Not necessarily, if you wish to autocross the car and want your car to do more oversteer or less oversteer, then by having the rear sway bar you can tune it to do so. I've seen the progressive rear sway bar mounting kit, I just don't like the way the end links mount. I would just assume buy lower control arms that already have the mounts on them, then drill the holes for the mounts on the cross frame and thread them. for a factory fit and finish.

I have stock sway bars front and rear, i suppose they do some good, but yeah I would do both ends if I were you I think I've seen the Progress one referred to above, just do it.

Somehow, I highly doubt that.
2 reasons... 1. The RSX-S only has a 21mm bar, why would they put more reas bias in the Civic if the RSX is supposed to be the sportier car?
2. A 1" bar in the rear with the stock springs would be a deathtrap to the average granny driver

Someones full of it, or they went back to the 25mm FRONT bar.
