They don't come with the bar, but they do sell them. They're pretty crappy though...

Here's how to make some good endlinks for it: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1474587

Yes, they do the job while they last. They don't use the best rod ends...

Do you actually Track your car? If not Iw ouldn't even bother with an RSB.
I use it on my track car and its like MAGIC. Middle setting and I forgot what Understeer is......Oversteer is my issue now and an issue I love!

if you plan to abuse the car with autox/track...
then you should get the progress with its beefier brackets
ST doesnt come with the beefy brackets

I have a 25mm Tanabe (hollow) and a 27mm Progress (solid) and the difference is night and day even on the street. The Tanabe is non-adjustable and the endlink mounting position is the same as the middle setting of the Progress bar. The Tanabe reduces understeer a little when comparing to the stock 23mm hollow bar. The middle setting of the Progress can make the car oversteer and I didn't even try the firmest setting. The softest setting on the Progress is still firmer than the 25mm Tanabe bar. The Progress is one heavy bar!
