I got my '99 Si rear sway bar for $80 + shipping. This was for the ENTIRE set up....everything (even down to the bolts) that I needed. Since you car is an Ex (like my Lx), everything is all set for you to have rear sway bar...you just need to add the parts. There is no drilling required, as all the holes are already there. Everything from the Si sway bar fits perfectly without any modifcation or changing pieces (such as end links like with the GSR, Type R, etc bars). It is such an easy install...should take you no more than an hour. I would recommend this unless you want to spend a lot of extra money and time.

Mine was used (the parts alone if I got in new would have been over $200). I actually got it off a kid on Hondatech. Check the classified sections at any of the boards you visit, and you can also check thepartstrader or ebay.

Would you say it helped a lot? I have the front upper/rear upper strut tower braces and the rear lower tie bar and it helped quite a bit, but i hear the RSB is the most influential?

well, you hear right....a rear sway bar (if you already have a front to pair it with) is probably the most noticible (if not definitely the most) mod you can do....you will definitely notice a difference....TRUST ME :thumbup: My car handles even better now than my Mom's '95 Ls, which in is obviously a sportier car than my lowly civic sedan. And this is all on Stock suspension too....if you're dropped at all and have good shocks, it'll be even better.

Some people say the Si bar isn't thick enough, but if you're just gonna pair it with your stock front bar like I did, it will be fine. Besides, as I mentioned earlier, Honda says the bar off the '99 SIs is 15mm....thats thick enough.

hrmm looks like i'll be grabbin a si swaybar afterall then. I'm lowered on sportlines and have the other 3 strut bars already. Correct me if i'm wrong but...isn't a 95 LS integra essentially the same suspension setup as a ex coupe? Btw...what is the size of the front swaybar that come stock on my 00 ex?

OK Money counting time...

------
Beaks 22mm itr kit :175 shipped

endlinks: (2 parts)
link assembly: 38.27 (x2) = 76.54
spring clutch: 16.62 (x2) =33.24 add about 10 for shipping.

Neuspeed rear bar: $80

total for ITR setup in EX cpe= $369.78

------
Comptech 22mm rear sway with lower tie bar combo: about $370

DAYUM!! any negatives about the comptech bar??? besides exaust clearence. The mounting looks a lot more solid then the beaks kit and they say 'IT WILL NOT RIP OUT.' Any comments on which way to go.

What is that spring clutch thing? I never heard of that, I dealt with a lot of rear sway bars, and that name never came up. are you sure you need it?

Anyways, if the price comes up to be about the same, I would suggest you go with the Comptech setup. No problems with it at all. It is a much better reinforcement kit too. plus you get the lower tie bar

good luck
