1. Just get a rear sway bar.
02-04 RSX rear sway is 19mm (all models)
05-06 Type-S rear sway is 21mm (i think the base kept the 19mm one)
DC5-R have the 22mm bar.

2. As for a strut bar, get neuspeed because of the one piece design. The rear does not need one because the rear shocks are not subject to as much load as our front struts.

Also, if you plan on installing the springs, purchase dampers (Tokico Blues at the very least).

you can use the stock ones

i heard the 22mm could break the stock ones though...but i've had the stock endlinks with the 19mm bar and they're fine
