Question for those who bought RSX rear sway bar....

Has anyone bought it from the Acura Dealership? The guy at the dealership said it comes with the bar only. If you bought the sway bar somewhere else (like hondawerx.com) did it come with nuts and bolts or bushings? or just the bar itself?

Bought mine from Hondawerx. It came with the bar, bushings, and brackets. No nuts or bolts.

Does this Sway Bar from a RSX really bolt up to a stock Civic? I read a earlier thread that said HondaWerks sells the bar and bushings, if this is true, does it really make a differance in handling?

Larger rear anti sway bars will definitely improve handling by decreasing body roll. Everyone seems to like them. Your stock rear anti sway bar is 12mm long. The one off the RSX Type S is 19mm, and the Type R is 22mm.

And if you've not bought parts from a dealer, expect to pay for the extra parts it doesn't come with. This happens with mostly anything you buy from a dealer. If you buy a headlight, fender, or a trunk lid, you're not gonna get the screws, just the headlight, fender, and lid. No parts to bolt it on. You have to order those, too.
