you'll probably just need to buy a bigger bushing and get polyeurothane and just grease it up.

If the bar comes with bushings (aftermarket or oem) it's a bolt on. If it doesn't you'll have to get some.

Then you'll have to buy some bushings like I said.

The Energy Suspension 3/4" poly bushings and brackets fit.

I drive a '01 LX coupe. I wonder if a rsx rear sway bar can bolt on, maybe with a subframe.

No, as you drive an 01 LX, you dont not have a stock rear swaybar. The best option is to buy the progress 22mm rear sway bar + adapter kit. The kit comes with threaded nut inserts you will have to drill into the rear crossmember, which provides mounting locations for the 2 main mounting points for the rear sway. It also comes with u bolts to attach it to each LCA? i think it was the LCA.

Regardless, i bought mine a while back off dezod.com and i love it.

What options are there for sway bars on a 02 EX?

Are there OE bars from Honda or Acura that are a good way to go or do I need to go after market.

I am taking delivery on the car tomorrow and was wondering.

As stated in this thread, you can run the RSX rear anti-sway without problems.

I understand... kinda.

On here it said a 02 LX needed holes drilled and stuff. What about an 02 EX?

On my GSR I needed a kit to put the ITR bar on it.

On my 02 EX what do I need to do? What is the size difference (how big is mine and how big is the RSX)?

You don't need anything special on a EX, just on the lower models. I think the stock EX rear sway bar is 13mm and the Type S is 19mm. You can even add a DC5R rear sway bar without any trouble.

Any swaybar 23mm and below will work. Anything more and it will not clear the stock muffler.

Which OE RSX rear sway bar is bigger than the 19mm bar?

EDIT ... The '05 RSX type S bar will bolt up to my 02 EX 4dr? I read that this is a 21mm bar.

I just need bushings and no brackets right or do I need brackets too?

In 05 they went to a 21mm rear bar. The ITR is a 22mm bar.
You need OEM acura bushings that fit the bar, or energy suspension poly ones of the correct diameter. If you use ES ones, they should come with paired brackets.
