Default Rear Prelude Progress Sway on Accord

What I'd like to know if anyone has any input on the possibility of working a Prelude Progress rear sway (27mm) onto an CD chassis Accord coupe where the Progress bar is only 22mm and rare

I measured from the bottom of the endlink to the other side and it's approx 45.5" and Hawkze was kind enough to measure his Progress rear which was around 44-44.5" due to the mounting locations however I don't believe that would come into issue.

My question is the following, those of you with Preludes can you tell me if your rear setup looks similar to what ours does? I found the 3 holes in the general location where the Prelude's sway mounts up but dunno if they're the same. The endlinks are completely different between the two, the Accords mount on the trailing arm whereas the Prelude's mount on the knuckle?

These are the holes I'm dealing with after removing some rubber plugs



Do the Preludes have a similar mounting dealio?

Not sure man but I can take a look and take some pics if you want. (at work right now)

If the bar doesn't fit your car then you sell it to me

those holes look huge. at least 2.5cm in diameter...

i doubt you can bolt anything up to that...

if you know someone who can weld well, have them custom fab the mount so you can fit the bar.

but that looks like part of the frame section of the car, so you it should be a pretty stiff area to attach the mount to...

negative...the mounting holes of the prelude are way different. i had a cb before my lude and the cb and cd sway bars were interchanable. from installing my progress sway bar in my lude i saw the difference. the driver side mount spot faces normal but the driver side mount faces the opposite. i have to take pics to show you
