This Whiteline 26mm adjustable rear sway bar is the aggressive option for the 2002-2006 RSX and 2001-2005 Civic: a solid 26mm bar with two stiffness settings, both of them several times stiffer than the little factory bar on a Type-S. If you want the car to rotate, this is the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It Is and Why It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rear bar transfers load to the outside rear tire in a corner, which takes load off the outside front and lets the front tires do their job. On a front-heavy K20 chassis that is the whole game. Whiteline rates the soft hole at about 545 percent stiffer than the stock bar and the hard hole at about 652 percent; the stock rear bar on these cars is tiny, so those numbers are less scary than they sound, but this is still a big bar. On a stock-suspension RSX Type-S the soft setting kills most of the push and the car feels neutral at the limit. On the hard setting with sticky tires, lifting mid-corner will bring the rear around. That is what a lot of our customers want on an autocross or track car; it is a lot for a daily driver on all-seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit ships with the bar, two poly bushings, two saddle brackets and a pair of lateral locks that keep the bar from walking sideways in the mounts. Whiteline's current listing calls it two-point adjustable; several dealer listings and the older catalog call it three-point. Either way you get a soft and a hard hole. Install is under an hour on a car that already has a rear bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpec\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetail\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBHR67XZ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26mm (1.023 in) solid spring steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 position (Whiteline currently lists 2 point; older listings say 3 point)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoft setting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25.5mm effective, roughly 545 percent stiffer than OE, per manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHard setting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26.5mm effective, roughly 652 percent stiffer than OE, per manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKit contents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 sway bar, 2 bushings, 2 saddles, 2 lateral locks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnd links\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstall time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 1 hour, per manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlignment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLimited lifetime, per manufacturer (some dealers list 3 year \/ 60,000 km)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMake\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2002-2006\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcura\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRSX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase and Type-S\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK20A3, K20A2, K20Z1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2002-2005\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCivic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSi (EP3)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK20A3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2001-2005\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCivic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDX, LX, EX, HX, GX, Hybrid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD17, L13\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhiteline lists the full 7th gen Civic range and both RSX trims. The base RSX and non-Si Civic did not come with a rear sway bar from the factory, so on those cars you are adding a bar, not replacing one, and you will need end links and a rear beam with the bar mounts present. Check the trailing arms and beam for the bar bracket bosses before you order for a base car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to Know Before You Buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecide how much rotation you actually want. This is Whiteline's big bar. If you have a base RSX or a non-Si Civic and you are adding a rear bar for the first time, or you daily the car in the rain, a 22mm bar is the safer step and you can always come back. If you are on coilovers, 200-treadwear tires and you have driven the car hard enough to know it pushes, start on the soft setting and only go to hard after a session or two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnd links are not in the box. A Type-S or EP3 Si can reuse the factory links in a pinch, but they are a known weak point and a bigger bar loads them harder; most of our customers add a set of Whiteline adjustable end links at the same time. A base RSX or non-Si Civic has no factory links at all, so you need a set no matter what. Grease the bushings with the supplied grease and torque the saddles evenly or the bar will squeak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are stiffening the rear this much, put fresh poly bushings in the front bar too. A soft front bar and a hard rear bar together is how you end up with a car that snaps instead of rotates. No alignment is required after install, but do one anyway if you are also lowering the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n \u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMake\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2002-2006\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcura\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRSX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase and Type-S\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eK20A3, K20A2, K20Z1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2001-2005\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCivic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDX, LX, EX, HX, GX, Hybrid (non-Si)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD17, L13\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1997-2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHonda\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCR-V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB20, K24\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is sized for a 20mm front bar.
