Default 06 RSX Type-S Rear Sway Bar fit an 05 EX Sedan?

Title pretty much says it all... Just want to confirm before I pick this rear sway bar up. From what I can tell, the 05 and 06 Acura's are essentially the same. Came across an 06 RSX Type-S rear sway bar that ought to fit my "bone stock" 05 EX Sedan. I will upgrade to Hotchkis End Links unless someone points me in another direction.

Thanks in advance...

if Acura used the same sized rear sway from there previous gens, then yes it will fit directly. I am using an 03 type-s rear sway on my 03 ex coupe. 01-05 non-ex models will need end links/bushings to put in a rear sway from my understanding (can someone confirm?).

To fit a rear swaybar on a VP/DX (01 LX too) you will need to either buy the progress kit, which is around $125-150 I forget.
Or you can buy some rear trailing arms from an ex/02+LX (what I did)
I THINK the progress kit comes with endlinks too, in case you were wondering.

On a side note, I'll be purchasing the 21mm rsx-s rear sway for my 01 ex.

I know I am only going to need bushings.

HOWEVER, can the existing EX bushings be drilled (ghetto, I know) to compensate for the 21mm bar?

trying to save a buck.

Also, I checked energy's website and apparently they don't sell the 21mm bushings for the 05-06 rsx-s.

Can I use ANY 21mm sway bushings from energy susp?

Ok so if I got trailing arms from the stealership all I would need is the swaybar bushings and the endlinks?

All Canadian models from 2002 to 2005 had rear sway bars.
