Upgrade End Links w/ Aftermarket Rear Sway Bar?

[evlsmurf]

I am picking up an RV6 rear sway bar and I am wondering if the end links should be change too? For those who have gone with a aftermarket RSB, what did you do? Thanks for the thoughts.

Its not necessary, but probably recommended. I have all the rear suspension pieces from RV6 waiting to be installed including their end links, but you can always get the Accord End Links that are made of metal instead of the plastic ones the Civics use, they're not all that expensive either. I'm currently running an Eibach rear sway bar with the Accord end links.

Those are good for the FL5?

Yes, they can be used as a direct replacement for the FL5 end links.

I have the RV6 rear bar and RV6 end links but stock lower arms. I get a little noise during low speed bumps. Other than that works well.

I've read that too. Anyone using the Accord links have the same noise issue?

If your end links are making noise they probably need to be torqued down.

RV6 Torque

OEM Torque

Fully torqued checked multiple times ? I think it's the design of the end links just a little noisy.

I think it's slightly noisier with the OEM lower arm.

It was more for the Accord end links, but yeah, I can see the RV6 end links making noise if using the stock arms.

I think I just need to upgrade to the RV6 lower control arms ?

Yeah, but you gotta get both sets of arms or else it might look weird lol

So, what do I do?

What do you mean, "what do I do"? You can either stay with the stock FL5 end links or get the Accord end links or even the RV6 end links. Its up to you.

I'm open to the Accord links as long as they are strong enough and won't be clunking. Seems like a legit option for less than $40.
