Energy Suspension Sway Bar Bushings for 02-06 RSX DC5

Energy Suspension Sway Bar Bushings - 2002-2006 Acura RSX / 2001-2006 Honda Integra Type R (DC5)

If your RSX feels a little floppy through corners, or the front end doesn't bite the way it used to, your sway bar bushings are a great place to start, and they're cheap. Those soft factory rubber bushings let your sway bar squirm around in its mounts, so by the time the bar actually does its job and fights body roll, you've already leaned over more than you should. These Energy Suspension bushings swap that mushy rubber for firm polyurethane, so your sway bar starts working the instant you turn in. It's one of the best handling upgrades you can do for the money, and you can knock it out in your driveway.

What Worn Rubber Bushings Are Costing You

Here's what's happening down there. Your sway bar's whole job is to tie your left and right wheels together so the car stays flat in a corner, but it can only do that if it's held firmly in its mounts. Stock rubber bushings are soft on purpose, Honda built them that way for a quiet, comfy ride, and after twenty years they're even softer and more worn out than the day they went in. So when you turn in, the bar twists and shifts in that squishy rubber before it actually loads up, and that lag is exactly the vague, rolly feeling you're noticing. Tighten that connection up and the bar responds right now, not a beat late.

Why Polyurethane Beats The Rubber

These are made from Energy Suspension's Hyper-Flex polyurethane, and the difference you feel is the stiffness. Poly doesn't deflect and squirm the way old rubber does, so your sway bar's actually planted in its mount and gets to work the moment you crack the wheel. Turn-in sharpens up, the car stays flatter through a corner, and the whole front end just feels more connected and willing. On top of feeling better, poly outlasts rubber by a long shot, it shrugs off heat, oil, and road grime that turn rubber brittle, so you're not back under the car redoing these in a few years. These are the red ones, if you're keeping an eye on how things look under there too.

Cheap, Easy, And You'll Feel It

This is about as much handling improvement as you can buy for this little money. You're not tearing the suspension apart, you're just unbolting the sway bar mounts, swapping the old bushings for these, and bolting it back up. An hour in the driveway with basic hand tools and you're done. One real tip: poly bushings need grease to stay quiet, so use the grease that comes in the kit on the inner surfaces, skip that step and you'll get a squeak over bumps that'll drive you nuts. Greased up right, they stay silent and just do their job.

Fits The DC5 Chassis

These fit the 2002-2006 Acura RSX in both Base and Type S, and they'll also fit the 2001-2006 Honda Integra Type R, since all of those are the DC5 chassis. One thing worth checking before you order: sway bar bushings are sized to your bar's diameter, so if you've already swapped to an aftermarket sway bar, measure your bar and confirm the size matches before you buy, because a bushing that's the wrong diameter won't clamp up right.
