Installying Type S rear sway bar

I bought a type S rear sway bar for my mom's car for $30 shipped, and I was wondering what hardware I'd need to install it? It came with endlink bushings. I was wondering if i can reuse the stock brackets or will I need to get myself some new ones? Its a 2002 EX Sedan if that makes a difference

Just jack up the rear end and have a look, it is really simple. I think all that I needed was a wrench...

I used all of my stock parts, including the endlinks and everything has been fine. Be sure to lower the car down slowly from each side so you dont snap the endlinks though.

To get the bar off the endlinks you'll need a 5mm allen wrench and a 12mm box wrench. All bolts and brackets fit the new bar. And be sure to grease up the bushings.

You need 19mm bushings for the RSX bar but you can use stock civic brackets. Bolts and endlinks are fine.

the sway bar came in today


just wondering do I need anything else to install it? Reason I'm asking is on the endlink part it seems like its just a bolt that goes thru it with the rsx bar...while with my integra type r bar I needed bushings in the endlink holes.

No bushings for the endlinks. All you need is the bar, 19mm bushings and the stock brackets.
