you can get one at http://www.acuraparts247.com/

its like 50 bucks for the sway bar, 60 bucks for all the hardware, and then you'll need to spend an extra 30 bucks to get the BSQ kit. Chances of finding someone selling a used one are slim to nill, and they usually charge out of the ass too, like 100 bucks for the thing

Thanks,
its a huge improvement, you are going to love it. I had it on my 2000 GS, and the improvement is very nice. Corners where I had to slow down to 20, I could take at 40. Any my tires were crap, winter tires that were almost bald. After this mod your car will be pretty balanced, but you should never lift from throttle in a corner because the car will oversteer on you.

Install isn't that complicated, but you'll need to get some grease to get the bushings in, also will need a drill to drill your subframe, for the bsq kit. This will help prevent subframe tearing out under high cornering. Since the bsq kit reinforces your subframe.

The bar is supposed to be 600% stiffer than stock...and you can definetly feel it, honestly I'd say this is the best bang for the buck you can get suspension wise.

here is a comparison of what it looks compared to stock bar



The good thing is you'll be able to sell it for a good amount, i paid $135 total for the thing. $110 for the bar(65) + hardware(50), $20 for the BSQ kit. When i put my car back to stock I sold it on ebay for $160.99($20 to ship). So I actually came out ahead from buying it

I'm actually going to buy 1 again, because I had trouble selling my car, so I started modding it again, and the sway bar is 1 of the top priorities there.


Some more information:

Have one question? So you would notice a big improvement over even a Gsr. I'm thinking upgrading my rear to either Type R or if suspention techniques. By the way whats a good site to find sway bar dimentions on either Gsr or 88-91 Civics .
