Default LX to EX sway bars

i found a good deal on a set fo EX sway bars (only $8!! for both). my question is, what other components off a EX's rear suspension to be able to mount the rear bar? and i keep hearing the EX front bar is thicker, if so, then i would need new EX body to sway bar bushings to mount it, right? i looked in accord FAQ and for some strange reason, did not find any info on this.

I know that you need to drill holes on your rear subframe to be able to mount the sway bar. If the rear bar is coming with the bushing and rod bolts.... you are good to go.
Not sure if the EX bar is any thicker than any other model, let me see if i can get a confirmation on that.

I would need to get a double check at the computer at work, but seems like the front sway bar on a EX (OEM) is 27mm, and the LX is 22mm.
