DC5/RSX Rear Strut Bar onto ES Civic
Hi guys,
I have a 03 ES sedan and was wanting to fit a RSX rear strut bar into it. I was told by a mate of mine that the strut brace was interchangable with the RSX one, but after purchasing one of ebay I was told that it would only fit the RSX by the seller. Are there only some trear strut bars hat are able to be swapped over onto the ES? Or will all of them will fit regardless of what this seller has told me? Could somebody please help me confirm whether it is possible to put a RSX rear strut into a ES civic? Cheers.

The fronts are swapable, and I believe the rears are too (someone 2nd this??). And for future reference, take into considerations that sellers on ebay dont know **** about anything they sell except for how much they want to get paid.

I agree with triz.. the fronts for sure swap and i also believe the rears do too. but if you already purchased it off ebay and its on its way to you... you might as well try it and give us a definite answer if it fits or not. but it should.

hello again! i just received the struct brace yesterday and to my suprise, it was a perfect fit! i've attached a couple pics to show how well it sits. its very low to the carpet, to the untrained eye you wouldn't be able to tell.
cheers!
cheers!

i wasn't too sure, and was quite worried that it wouldn't fit after buying it but now i know. there is a difference in handling, i get less body roll that i use to and can take turns a lot quicker than i was before. i think the best mod i've done was to put a dc5r rear sway bar in, that helped so much and it was relatively cheap to pick up.
