Default 04 Civic Sedan Swaybar and Suspension

Can the RSX swaybar and suspensions fit onto a 04 civic lx sedan?

If your car comes stock with a swaybar, the RSX one will fit, you'll need to get the bushings/brackets as well.

Look at the rear subframe and see if there are swaybar holes you can use. if not, then you're screwed.

The Dx and Dx VP does not come with swaybars. The LX, Ex, EX special Ed and Si all have swaybars from the factory.

All you probably need is the bushing and swaybar. Not sure on the reinforcement kit. Is the rear subframe any different (beefier) from the RSX to the Civic?

The only real difference I've ever noticed is the dinky stock tie bar on the RSX. But then again, I know people using the hotchkis 24mm rear bar on the Civic with no reinforcement at all, then autocrossing and tracking the car and having no problems. So I would say the subframe is strong enough.

The oem EP3 Civic Si rear bar is 15mm (17mm for the later models). People are giving those away for a song and they bolt right on and you will notice a difference.

I'd like to get ahold of a 17mm actually.
