Default Rear Tie Bar Question.

My friend is selling a Tanabe rear tie bar off of his car and i'm thinking about buying it. I have a few questions about the tie bar because i'm not so familiar with the 5th gen's aftermarket suspension mods. I'm trying to search for threads that cover suspensions including tie bars so if you know of one feel free to post. Thanks

Does it make a difference?
Do i need to buy sway bars and the front tie bar for it to work right?
Is it hard to install?
What brands are good? What brands should be avoided?
What's a good site to buy one from?

Does anyone have any pics of one on their lude?

it's all for show on the prelude chasis since the 2 bolts it links are connected already
plus you're "suppose" to get an alignment afterwards if u remove those 2 bolts
however it does look good to me

Nope, if they're stuck, put some WD 40 on there, and that should do the trick.

If that doesn't work then use a long steel pipe on the end of the bolts and you shouldn't have any trouble
