can anyone clairfy? - sway bar

i have a 02. coupe lx.

since i already have a stock sway bar..... is it a straight swap with a used rsx S rear sway bar? so no need to get extra bushings or bolts.
since i can just used the stock ones>?

yes
make sure the bar u are buying come with bushings or u have to buy the RSX one (confirm this with Gusto)

for more info, ask Gusto cuz he did the mod already on his Si

u are lucky to ahve a sway bar...on the gay 2001 model they never come with any so if i want sway bar i have to buy more than teh bar and have to drill holes to install the brackets to hold the bar

damn that;s suck...honda is gay period

its a straight swap, but u need rsx bushing, just need some time to take it off, installed mine around 1.5 hrs last friday, made a HUGE different, but for even better performacen chage the endlinks too, cuz it MIGHT break since the endlink is like a needle compare to the 19mm sway bar. all u need is the sway bar and bushing and thats it, just becareful not to scrap the bolt when u take it off, u'll know what i mean when u install it, i mean the allen key or whatever it called

here is the bushing & bracket, the bushing wraps around the sway bar, and the bracket holds the bushing...



hope it helps...

use aftermarket endlinks if your sway bar is 22mm or more...
the stock endlinks should be fine for 19mm...
