    Man if you asked this like 1 month before I would have been able to answer you since I changed my rear for a type-s and now I don't recall if there was any other difference except for the size. If you got a picture of a Type-S rear I can take pics of my stock one if you really want to see/know. Just ask.

    The sway bars pictured are an '04/'05 stock sway (smaller) and a '05 RSX-s. You'll need the RSX-s rubber attachment bushings and you can use your stock EP3 attachment metal installation brackets and end links.

    I used DC5s endlinks, they were half the price and have yet to break.

    when upgrading to the type r swaybar do you need to replaces the brackets that hold the swaybar to the subframe or wil your factory ones work the same?

    You can use your old brackets. The bushings outside diameter are all the same but the inside diameter that holds the bar is different. I recommend new end links especially if you live in a snowy area. Mine were rusted to hell and the boots were torn. It's a fun upgrade for a month or so then you don't feel it any more. It will probably feel sloppy if you swapped back.
