Just Installed My 22mm Integra Type R Sway Bar

Well my sway bar came home today, its really heavy...and like 3 times thicker than the stock one. After installing it the first time i found out I had installed it backwards and had to flip the sway bar around because the suspension arms would hit it. After another 20 mins i was crying tears of joy and I sped down the freeway. I really gotta say this sway bar makes a huge difference and is well worth it. Thanks to all the people who recommended this sway bar! Any ideas on what to do next? Im thinking the KYB adjustable struts, goldline springs and camber kits.

So now I know what endlinks are...and kinda know what a tie bar is. I'm not really gunna buy new tie bars, but I'm kinda concerned about the endlinks. While installing the sway bar I noticed the endlinks(didn't know what they were called till now) were being pushed back far not pointing verticle like normal. Do you think I should get new ones now? wait for them to break? If so were do i get new endlinks? I also read about Gray endlinks...they are stronger...but how do i know if i have gray endlinks? my endlinks are black but have gray dots on them. Thanks for the help.

no, Grey is a guy on the boards. He makes endlinks that are stronger and made to handle larger diameter sway bars

well if you don't want to waste money, you could see how long you can go on those stock endlinks with that ITR bar. however, many users recommend upgrading the endlinks with a bigger bar than 19mm but it all really depends on your driving habits and such.

The only bar I consistently hear breaking endlinks is the progress bar.

agreed! it's not the size of the bar because you and a few other people with 22 and 25mm bars can run stock endlinks... must be something about the design of the progress bar.
