Hey guys I am going to order CR front and rear sway bar from hondaautomotivepats. My question is besides the sway bar and the bushings is everything else the same? ( Like the end links, sway bar bracket.) Anything else I need? Can someone please help me out and confirm that these are the correct part number. Are the end links the same on CR and non CR? Only thing is different are the bushings right? Because the dia. of the bar is different, but will my old ap2 brackets work?

Front Sway bar :51300-S2A-S11

Front sway bar bushing : 51306-S2A-S11

Rear sway bar : 52300-S2A-S01

Rear Sway Bar bushing. 52315-S2A-S01

Yeah..same brackets and endlinks. Bushings (and swaybars) are the only thing you need. I have MY00-01 FSB and MY06 RSB on my MY03.

Hey I was looking at the part # for the OEM sway bar too like the 00-01. But the part number is the same with the 02-03. Surely that is not right? And how does your ride feel? Oversteer or understeer or neutral?

the 00-01 has the highest rate bars available from honda, including the CRs. the rates were decreased for 02-03, so yes, that is incorrect. should be different part number every two years, hahaha.


OP should buy 00-01 sways or just go aftermarket. CR stuff is not the stiffest. source: own 00 with 00 FSB and 08 club racer RSB for non staggered

Feels 100x better. No more twitchy floaty feeling during cornering. Rear feels very planted and much more grippy. Easier and more predictable to control. Overall car feels more stuck to the road..almost like Awd imo ;D

So an 00-01 AP1 FSB combined with a soft AP2 RSB is the preferred setup for a non staggered setup? What would be best for a staggered setup then?

i think you also have to take into account ap1 vs ap2 chassis, where honda revised the rear suspension geometry etc. before asking whats the magic setup.

i have the same question :-D

I am currently running a CR FSB and a 04 RSB on a non-staggered setup on my 2004 AP2. Installing the CR FSB seems to make the car a tad more predictable and less twitchy.
