The Whiteline rear anti-sway bar on my car is the very first one made. I sent the OE bar to them as the template for the new bar. The OE bar was destroyed in the process (I don't know why).

I've had no problems with the Whiteline bar on my Euro. It was a perfect fit according to the Honda mechanic who fitted it. I don't like fitting thicker front anti-sway bars as it increases understeer.

I had the same thing done with my previous car, a 2001 Civic 5 Door. If it's true that Whiteline is moving production to Korea, I'll have to find somewhere else to make-up new anti-sway bars.

Interestingly, as part of the process that took about three weeks, my car was without the puny rear anti-sway bar. It's absence was hardly noticeable.
