Progress Rear Sway Bar Installation Question?

I'm getting ready to install my Progress RSB on my 09 Civic EX.
I just wanted to make sure I have got the installation instructions down right based on all the threads I have seen.

1. Raise the car on Jack Stands
2. Take off the RSB and bolt in Progress RSB
3. Make the Corsport Adjustable Endlinks the same size as the Factory Endlinks
4. hand tighten all the bolts in
5. Drop the car to put load on suspension
6. Torque down all bolts to specified amount (around 44 ft-lb)

correct?



Thanks in advance!

I believe the kit from Corsport comes with it, or at least a version of it. I will check it out tomorrow.

Does it seem like everything as far as instructions is correct though?

-Now includes RLCA reinforcement brackets for all bars packaged after April 2009!
