You wont really notice anything at all.
It will not change alignment.
I hope you got brackets and endlinks with it

I wouldn't imagine that Honda would have made it if it didn't have a purpose, but from what i've heard elsewhere, they really don't do all that much for you...then again, civics weren't built to be "race cars" from the factory, so what should we expect?

IT is the rear bar check first post....

you'll definitely notice if you don't even have one!
it wont change how the care takes bumps, but you should
feel less body roll in the turns

**what r u waiting for put that thing on.. it will take no time at all to put it on

If your car currently has NO sway bar then yeah, its worth your time to go ahead and put on the SI bar.

I didn't have one and then I put one on (Si), and I could definately tell the difference. I can take turns much smoother and faster than before. And the good thing about getting the Si bar, is that it is small so you don't have to worry about the rear sub-frame getting torn up, but it's big enough to make a difference.

Remember when you install it, that you MUST have the weight of the car on the wheels. If you try and install it with the car on jack stands, you're going to get frustrated as hell and give up. So get some ramps and put that som'bitch on.
