^ Earlier in this thread, I forget where, I posted my findings from hondapartsdeals.com. The Si and non-Si part numbers for the LCA are different, but I realized today that that is likely due to the different hub/knuckle design. From blueroadster's pics, the endlink bracket looks exactly the same.
Coles Notes: If I had an Si, I'd be playing it safe and welding or getting Highrev's brackets.

Highrev1, I would be interested in a set.
I inspected mine yesterday and so far no problems. No early signs of stress. No paint cracking or metal out of shape. But why take a chance, adding a little support could be just what is needed. |

Progress rear swaybar rattling ^ It's really starting to piss me off :Mad:

Can we add a choice to the poll for the people who have the Progress bar installed, and haven't had any problems? I feel that this will give us objective results? |

Well...this would def. explain the tear out you got. It appears they move the bar down with the adapter plates, sitting it in stock position would DEF. add stress to the endlink mounting location, and the weakest part brok first.
Guess this just means don't install the bar without the adapter kit. |

![]() I considered the fact that the original mounting location might have had something to do with the break. But I have trouble wrapping my mind around that, considering that the difference in the location between then and now is only about 1/2". And as iomatic said, it is a front tear out. The fact that the bar was originally incorrectly installed certainly didn't help the situation, but I think the fact that the bar is simply much stiffer than the original bar is the bigger player here.

No offense to J-Ro, I'm just looking for the facts. I would like to see another choice on the poll. Something like: I installed my bar properly, and have had no problems. |
