No, even if you didnt have the adapter kit, the only 2 bushings needed would be the 2 from the sway bar to the subframe. Thats the only 2 bushings back there. And then you have your endlinks, and then youre through.

You can see those 2 bushings in a couple of pics I took when I got my bar.







Here, they are just above the silver rear tie bar, installed on the car.

I dont THINK you do, I believe the rear lower arm cam universally drilled for the link. I dont think the arms were different, I will look at a diagram and post it......

EDIT:



It is already drilled. That diagram is from an 03 LX 2dr Cpe. Just behind the knuckle mount, you can see that little hole drilled. Ill bring it up in paint if I have to, but it is there.

The rear suspension/subframe from the EX to the Non-ex modles is the exact same, except for having the sway bar and endlinks. Everything else is all there.

i dunno, when i did my rear disc brakes, i gave my rear drums to skipbarber, he has a 02 DX, it didn't have the endlinks bracket mount thing, he used the one that i gave him for his rear disc setup and rear sway bar install. he ended up not needing his mounting stuff so he sold them.

that was a DX though, i dont know about an lx...

YES. you're going to love it, its a really noticeable difference, specially if you're lowered. (didn't work as nice when i was stock height)

tie bar works best with upgraded sway bar, doesn't do anything with out it.

sorry its taking so long for picks/install,

I havent yet picked it up. It got stuck at the border, as i live in Canada.

I get it Monday after work, so im gunna hopefully get it done soon after that.

I might do a DIY, as i havent yet found the one ur talking about for installing the "progress adapter kit" for installing a sway bar on cars that never came with a factory sway.
