Thanks mate, it was $220 for the kit plus delivery to Australia, so about $270 all up.
Of course people will say you could have got other aftermarket kits with a bigger sway bar for the same price etc etc, but that's not what I wanted. I wanted a neutral feel for the car, OEM part quality etc so it's perfect for what I wanted and is more than enough for a D16Y4 :-)
I took it through some nice S bend corners on an initial test drive and the rsb makes an incredible difference - almost scared myself lol - I already had a front tower bar and spoon progressive springs on the car (with oem dampers) and it's gotten rid of the vagueness I used to get at the front end, being much more direct when pointing it in the corners with no over or under steer - just that nice neutral feel/ balance.
However, I'm not sure how it would stack up against you guys with the D16Y4 hatches/ coupes with it being a sedan... some Koni Yellows would be next on the list, but a recent Pedders report told me the existing dampers (just on 85,000kms) were still perfectly fine...

Nice work, a good price you got there :-) but I found it so hard to find second hand kits with everything when you want one these days - I found a used bar but I still needed everything else so was no point; I said stuff it I'm going to buy it all new and have total peace of mind.
Putting it into perspective I rang Honda and they wanted over $700 for the whole kit - and that's at trade price (ridiculous I know)! So to me $220 + delivery is a bargain for new OEM Honda parts :-)
