DIY: Si or CTR Rear Stabilizer Bar on Normal Civic Sedan/Coupe/Hatch

[BoostinIX]

Non-SI is 16.5 rear from other posts.

Yup, generally just find one used. Can also try a WTB post. FB Marketplace can have some too.

Sorry to "revive" such an old thread but I'm about to install my aftermarket RSB and when looking up for the torque specs I have found confusing data! According to this thread's page 1 they're supposed to be:
"## Torque Specs
#19 D brackets 28 ft/lbs
#16 Endlink nut 38 ft/lbs
#18 Endlink bolt 28 ft/lbs"
In the attached Honda manual I've found while googling it's like:
#19 D brackets 27 ft/lbs
#16 Endlink nut 55 ft/lbs
#18 Endlink bolt 30 ft/lbs
In YouTube videos there are various opinions, like this one:
#19 D brackets ?? ft/lbs
#16 Endlink nut 40 ft/lbs
#18 Endlink bolt 25 ft/lbs
OK, 27 to 28 or 30 is not a big deal, but 38 to 55 is I guess.
Does anyone know for sure where I should rely on? By the way, I don't think it matters but I have a non Si.

You are probably right.

I believe I grabbed the torque specs from this PDF when Torque PDF was not available yet.
