Default 03 Civic EX sway bar

All,

I'm trying to find out if a 03 Civic EX front sway bar (15.9mm) will fit on an RSX. If so, where can I find one? Anyone looking to sell one?

Thanks,

Jason

Just looking for a smaller front sway bar for autocrossing. Typically, a smaller bar gives you a little more oversteer- so I thought I'd do some testing with a smaller bar just to see how it would work.

you could try the front bar from a civic si or base RSX. That or just put a bigger bar in the back.

Unfortunately, the base RSX uses the same front bar as the Type S (i think its 21mm), and the Civic Si uses a bigger bar (i think its 25mm). In stock rules (autocross), I can't touch the rear bar- so a bigger rear bar would probably work best, but is against the rules.
So that leaves me with just the '03 Civic EX bar being the only smaller bar that *might* fit. I just can't seem to find one! Any idea where I could get one without paying brand-new Honda Part prices?

Thanks,

Jason
