Hotchkis Sway Bars??? Skunk2 rear lower??

I have a progress front and rear sway bar... I want to sell it because the front NEVER even made it on the car because the damn bar was never tested on EX's (the cat is in the way) and the rear keeps on hitting my exhaust...

Read some threads on the Hotchkis Sway bar... Does it fit the 2001 Civic EX?? I checked their website out and it only has it for the RSX... I've heard the RSX and Civic share similair suspension components...

I just want to make sure before i spend 400+ on it...

Also for anyone who might be interested I have a skunk2 lower rear strut bar... (charcoal in colour) It's NEVER been on my car, but I bought it at the same time as my progress rear which comes with one already...

thanks for your help!!!

I believe front anti sway bars are interchangable but the cat and exhaust placement between the RSX and the Civic is different. You might end up with the same problem.

I have an LX, and a magnaflow exhaust.

my magnaflow exhaust now rattles against the sway bar constantly...its frustrating.

so I'm taking it to a shop this saturday to have them bend the pipes. I'd try calling around and seeing if you can get a couple bends in the pipe, or try getting the cat moved...shouldn't cost you more than a hundred bucks tops.

good luck!
