Ok to use eBay tie bar with rear sway from RSX?

So I'm buying a RSX type s sway (19mm) and I'm wondering if one of those cheapie eBay rear lower tie bars would be enough to reinforce the lca mounts. If not, can you recommend an inexpensive product that would work as a reinforcement?

No need to reinforce on 7th gens. I'm running a 21 mm bar without a tie bar. Works just fine.

That's the same thing I read about getting upgraded endlinks too - everyone said the stock endlinks are fine but I snapped my stickers with the stock sway bar do I'm a little afraid of breaking something.

The only reason they are there is bling factor. I've yet to break an endlink or rip the control arms out of the sub frame. Spend your monies on a better set of tires or n2o or something.
