I've had 21mm type s rear sway bar on for years. I can't recall if i used the dc5-s end links or the stock ep3 end links? Who know which one is a better fit? I remember one or the other snappin and I put the others in which seemed to fit better as well.

I wanna say the dc5-s end links were the ones that snapped and I used the ep3 but just wanted to be sure which to purchase.

I plan on getting new 21mm oem bushing with Moog end links.

I believe the DC5-s is shorter, so if you're lowered, I'd use those.

Yeah I see the dc5-s is shorter - pretty certain now it was those that snapped and now I have the ep3 links back on there without issues. Just going try to get moog links for rear and new oem bushing.

I upgraded to the JDM DC5 22mm rear sway bar and while swapping the bars out I noticed the OEM EP3 rear end links have plastic cups whereas the 05-06 RSX-S rear end links had steel cups. I haven't had any issues with the 05-06 RSX-S end links for my 22mm rear sway. I'd be worried of the OEM EP3 ones becoming loose in no time at all due to the plastics used.

Get something with a rod and and through bolt. No reason to have to deal with the crappy stock design where you need a hex to hold the ball steady while loosening the nut.
