Default Additional Parts Needed for CR Sway Install on AP2

So I'm looking to buy the CR sway bar to install on my 2004 AP2 S2k.

Do I need to purchase anything besides the bushings? Will I need to purchase bushing brackets as well, or will my existing brackets work?

Below is an image for reference. I would just order 6 and two 7's, right? And is there any benefit to buying from hardtopguy vs hondaautomotiveparts.com? Seems to be $20 more at hardtopguy.

Thanks!

Just need the bushings, the bracket is the same part # for both the CR and regular S, well at least for mine it was, MY07.

Are you going with just 1 of the 2 bars? I used both, they were free for me and it made the car feel so much better in auto-x, nowhere near the amount of lean the car possessed before the bars.

This seems like a good upgrade and it shouldn't be too expensive, right? What's the going rate for these things?

Do these sway bars work ok on a stock suspension? Ive been told that swapping out sway bars on an stock s2k can make the handling feel switchy. But i guess these arent aggressive enough that it would experience such symptoms right?

One or two bars? Do you mean the front and rear sway bars? Is the front bar actually wider?

Or are you referring to the rear bar that you have to remove the soft top to install?

I am hopefully picking up a CR f/R sway set on friday for a good deal. Will let everyone know how it turns out. I'm on Tein S tech springs with a spoon xbrace. Looking into getting the cusco u brace and floor bars, but i wanna do it little at a time to feel the difference.

I have been running the CR front and a 02 rear sway bar which is 27.2mm which is bigger than a rear CR sway bar and I love the way it handles. I don't find it twitchy at all. I run a bit more neg camber -.6 in front and -1.6 in the rear other than that the alignment is to oem specs. I do however have different tires the Dunlop Z1SS and they have far more grip than the oem RE050's. There footprint seems much greater especially the fronts so I don't really know how much that factors into things.

So are the brackets the same, just the bushing diameter?
