Did you have to jack up the car to install the sway bar or were all four wheels on the ground?

Thanks

im trying to do it right

and it's less of a pain to change the bracket than trying to grind the bushing down and having fitment issues(irregularity)

for allll parts, it only cost me $50 inc. taxes

I had read somewhere (perhaps on vtec.net) that Si's may actually handle better with the EX rear sway bar. I can't remember exactly. Anyone heard anything to this effect?

Order:

010 (spring, RR. stabilizer) = sway bar ---> order one

011 (bush, stabilizer holder) = bushing/holder for sway bar ---> order two

012 (holder, stabilizer bush) = metal holder to hold bushing and sway bar in place ---> order two

013 (bracket, R. RR stabilizer) = bracket to hold sway bar and hardware onto the car, needed because the EX bracket won't fit the Si hardware ---> order one

014 (L. RR stabilizer) = same as 013 but for the left side ---> order one

Don't quote me, but I think that you can use the old EX bolts, etc to mount the actual hardware onto the car. At least I'll find out when I get my own sway bar. Just ordered it last night!

EDIT: Upon a closer look at the diagram, comparing the EX to the Si, I think that you must also order four 10 x 20 mm bolt-washers (item 039 - bolt washer 10x 20). The EX uses a smaller size than the Si for this bolt. My guess is that the Si holders are bigger than the EX holders. DANG! Now I have to change my order!

You're welcome.

I'm looking forward to the new bar. When I put a bigger rear sway in my old RSX, I immediately noticed a much more solid, planted feeling in the turns.

make sure they order the right brackets...they sent 3 WRONG ones(same ones) so i had to wait like 2 weeks for it

I just got mine installed and DAYAM is all i gotta say. Handles 10x better but car still plows in a hard turn...typical FWD

I even have SI's Michelin tires but they just don't cut it... next summer come Stickier tires :)

I assume the SI rear anti sway bar will bolt onto an Acura CSX?
