I've been looking and compared both the Type R and Hatchback plan and for the front sway bar. It look the same for the support of it.

Changing the front sway bar is way more involved than the rear. You have to drop the front subframe and remove your steering rack.

does the bushing comes with the sway bar as a set?

Yes.. the bar comes with the bushings installed

The new Civics have bonded bushings on the sway bars. You cannot buy the bushings separately. If you wear out a bushing, you need a new bar.

Just thought that I want to share this. This pertain to the Hatch Sport 6Speed in comparison with the Type R rear end link. Looking at the details for the end link spec.

Sport Hatch 6 speed: 10.5cm x 6.4cm x 5.7cm
Type R: 9.3cm x 6.4cm x 4.9cm

Based on the information that is available, it looks like the lower control arm of the R is different from the regular Hatch. I am basing my assumption solely on the bottom bolts specification. The R bolt length is longer.

Regular- 7.6 x 1.3 x 6
R- 7.6 x 8 x 8

That end link is the same p/n# that the Si uses.. the end links bolt up just fine and the 1.2mm difference in length and .8mm difference on the other one.. should not make a difference since aftermarket bars are the same DIA 21mm...
now the OEM CTR end link is available but is not needed 52320-TGH-A01 .. runs about 30~35$

No need for the lower control arm.. the bar works with what we have for end links and mount locations. This bar has been verified to fit on a EX-T already

I just wanted to see if there was some sort of advantage by running the CTR end link. Just order mines and can't wait to get them.

Is the handling noticable?

This could be due to the fact that the Type R uses bushings that are over 2 times stronger than the LX bushings (LX, Sport, and Si use same links and lower control arms). They may be using stronger bushings in the links as well.
