No, the swap is for 7th gen Accords but there might be an aftermarket one that will fit.

So I purchased the 20mm sway bar. Does the car need to be on a lift or can I simply go underneth the car to install ? Also, any website to get the installation directions ? I know its easy but just in case.

Some have crawled under with no problem I chose to back it up on some ramps for more working room. I'm not aware of any printed directions.

Here is the link to the Neuspeed install.....http://www.neuspeed.com/data/installs/25.20.19.4.pdf This might give you an idea of how straight forward the install is. This is a pic of my rear bar....

Like tex said you could probably do it by just crawling underneath but having some ramps or even a few blocks of wood or flat rocks to back up onto would help give you some extra room and make your life easier.... don't forget to block your tires properly and leave the car in gear or in park when you do this...

In my kit they supplied new one's but the old bolts will work just fine. The ride is 100x better than with the tiny stock bar. I really felt the difference the first corner I took. Good luck with your new bar!

Install was very easy (20mm sway bar) I have a few questions.

1. Is it overstear OR am I not used to the responsiveness of the new setup ?
2. Is it me or is the rear higher in rideheight ?
3. Does this cause extra stress on other components of the suspension ?

Performance wise the new bar really flattens out the back. The car isbetter balanced. At high speeds the steering is very sharp with75% lessrear lag. Steering is very responsive to driver input. .Its only been about 50 miles so its premature. After about 500 miles Ill keep you posted as I get used to the new setup.

1. Is it overstear OR am I not used to the responsiveness of the new setup ? I think you're still getting used to it.
2. Is it me or is the rear higher in rideheight ?Height is unchanged.
3. Does this cause extra stress on other components of the suspension ?Possibly the link armsbut I'ver never heard of problems.
