Yes. The Type S sway bar fits the EP. You have to buy new bushings though as the larger sway bar won't fit inside the smaller diameter bushings. I would also just buy some new endlinks too. You will probably screw yours up taking them off... Corsport endlinks have been working fine for me so far although some people don't like them. They are a lot easier to use and only cost $60.

I personally almost bought a Type S rear sway bar but decided to step it up to a 22mm Progress sway bar with the lower tie bar/ chassis brace. Feels like a totally different car. Totally amazing and well worth the cash!

Good luck with it all.

Yeah, if you use the crap from the RSX you'll be fine. Once you get under there and look at the end links you'll see. They are tiny. Some people have had issues with them breaking after installing a beefier sway bar on them.

For me, they broke while I was trying to take them off the car. They were just really seized up. Honestly, for how easy they are to adjust I would just pay the $60 and buy the Corsport end links. The factory end links you need to use a wrench and then and allen hex key in the middle. But the allen size is really small so you get a ton of flex out of the allen hex. And then it strips out the allen or the end link because of the force you need to put on the nut to get them loose. Either that or the boots tear and they will go bad in the near future anyway so you might as well replace them. The Corsport pair cost less than an OEM pair. Look at corsports website and you'll see how beefy they are and how easy they are to use.

the end links are the vertical pieces that attach the sway bar and knuckle, correct?

If by knuckle you mean lower control arm, then yes.
