tool needed
jack
jack stands(2)
ratchet
10 mm socket
14 mm socket
bottle of liquid wrench or wd-40

parts needed

1- 52300-svb-a01 spring stabil RR (06 civic si)
2- 52306-svb-a01 bushings
2- 52308-svb-a01 holder for bushings
can be ordered from local honda dealer ship for under $80 canadian

step 1
first you jack up the car so you have enough room to get under there to remove the bolts and sway bar i do recommend using jack stands i also used a old blanket to lay on



step 2
there are two nuts 14 mm 1 conects to the bar from the endlinks and 1 that conects from the endlinks to the body of the car) remove theses with a 14 mm socket use liquid wrench or wd-40 to help with removal of these nuts if needed


step 3
repeat step 2 for the other side of the car


step 4
there are 2 backets (bushings)holding the bar to the car each is conected with 2 12mm bolts remove these use liquid wrench or wd-40 to help with removal of these bolts if needed





now here is the difference between the 2 bars



step 5
after you got the bar off make sure you remember what side was what to help with the install of the new one conect the endlinks to the new bar 1 14mm nut for each side of the bar

step 6
now line the bar up so the endlinks fit back into place with the car tighen these make sure not to over tighten these dont want to strip the bolt



step 7
repeat step 6 just on other side of car

step 8

now put on the bushing (there are yellow marks on the bar to help with this process) now take the backet and line up the holes and tighten the bolt with a 12 mm socket



step 9
repeat step 8 for the other side

once this is done you can drop the car back down (off jack stands) and take it for a little spin to see how you like it

does the dx come with a rear sway? i thought i read a while back that it didnt

I dont know why people bother with stock replacement parts. Why not wait for an aftermarket piece? It will be bigger, stronger, and better. Sure it will be a bit more expensive, but you get what you pay for when it comes to cars.
About the only stock replacement part that I would grab from an Si is the motor with tranny.

just didn't know if it would be better being as its "sports tuned"from honda and probly wont be given a hard time about warenty

just inquiring

Sport tuned to an extent. You really wont be given a hard time about warrant either I am pretty sure. Even if you do, you think it would be any different using that part rather than an aftermarket one? Because its a factory honda part it should be ok? Well, lets take the extreme of that case...say you want to replace your motor with the Si one...its factory...shouldnt have a problem no? Of course you will.
I am really not trying to be a dick at all, sorry if it comes across that way. I have just been down this road many times, and when I see I can help people in the long run save money, I try.
You will be happier with an aftermarket piece...I would wait just a little longer for them to catch up to the car.
