Default RSX/Civic sway bar questions....

1. what size FRONT sway bars are on the new (ep3) civic? (all trim levels)

2, will any of these sway bars bolt to the front of the RSX?

3. will i have to cut/modify anything to make the civic bar fit on the front of the rsx?

Im trying to find a smaller front bar so i can stay in DS and get a little less push. any ideas?

The RSX and RSX-S has the smallest swaybar between the RSX and the EP3.

23mm compared to 25mm. There are no smaller ones for the front that I know of.

To get rid of the push for a stock class RSX, consider adjusting rear toe out (like 1/16 or 1/8 total toe out) or purchasing crash bolts for the front of the car. This will give you some camber up front and get rid of some push.

Otherwise, that's about all you can do.

Thanks for the reply, i allready have crash bolts and toe-out all around (which did help out a ton vs stock), but still a little more rotation couldnt hurt...

If you have done those two already, you could always have a set of shocks custom valved (Koni). Stiffer adjustable shocks would help you out.

Also, you could entirely remove the front bar, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Otherwise, that's it for stock.
