Confirmation

[dingbathero]

Hey,

I have a picture attached of the pieces for the RSB from an Si.

I am looking to confirm these are the only pieces I will need for the upgrade on my r18.

OR

Will I need to go out and get more things, anyone, please let me know.

Thanks a BUNCH

Maybe a stupid question but what is the RSB?

rear sway bar

[dingbathero]

yes REAR SWAY BAR - sorry for my laziness... anyone know the answer?

[dingbathero]

No really someone, HELP!

[santellanm]

WOW I can't believe I could not figure that out. If you order the Si sway bar upgrade from collegehillshonda.com they give you "Kit includes 1 spring (sway bar), 2 bushings, 2 holders, 2 brackets, and 4 bolt washers." So it looks like you will also need the Si bushings and holders.

Thanks... I didn't know they gave a break down on CHH ( COllege Hills HOnda.. haha)

EDIT: anyone know how much they would cost?

[santellanm]

No... but I would say try your local honda dealer first and see what they would charge you.

Rear Sway Bar Options

[dingbathero]

Okay,

Now I need another confirmation. I have done a search but I am reatrded and can't find it...

I have a CANADIAN MODEL 09 DX-G COUPE - I was speaking to the parts guy @ a Honda Dealership - he said that I don't have the RIGHT connections (?) to enable me to apply the Si Rear Sway Bar... I of course was like WTF

Is this true?

Someone help before I spend my money on it.... FML

[Ryd1ZZ]

Dealership employees don't know sh*t IMO. (some of them do)

Just be patient, someone will see this and help you out.

I know your gonna need brackets/bushings/RSB but I'm not sure of what else as I never put my Si bar on my LX, just traded it for an Si, lol I'm sure it can be done though.

That stuff pictured IS all you need, as long as you have a swaybar currently.

There's two ways to fit an Si sway to an R18:
1. Use the parts from a Progress RSB like in the picture. They're included with every bar as far as as I know.
or
2. Use the Si brackets that College Hills sells

So I WILL be able to put this on my Canadian DX-G? Provided I have all the links, etc:

As per the CHH website, it says the rear sway is NOT for a DX model. I am not sure how much different the DX U.S. and the DX-G CDN. model are..... if there is NO difference then I don't think I can put the RSB on, right?

FML, anyone here have a DX and has put the REAR SWAY BAR on... let me know - THANKS.

The folks on the board have been great.

you may want to look under your car and see if there is a rsb already there, if there is one there then you can use the already installed endlinks and the new rsb, all you will need is the new bolts brackets bushings and bar. If there is no rsb you will need the endlinks and their respective nuts in addition to everything else.



the piece of metal where the endlink attaches (the bit with the pink dots) is where the endlinks attach to the suspension lower arm or something like that. If you have a rsb already then its fine, if you dont already have one you should still have that metal bracket coming off the lower arm. If somehow you dont, this project just got a hell of a lot more expensive to finish, thats really the only reason they would say it wouldnt fit, but even the US DX models that dont have a rsb at all come with the lower arms that have that bracket on them.
