The Addco bars are not only thicker, they are solid instead of hollow like the factory bar. As for bushings, they only come with the bushing & brackets for mounting to the frame (the inner bushings). You need to retain and use the factory hardware from the end-links.

As for the existing/new sway you're experiencing, I'm not sure. It's always been my thought that when it comes to symmetrical suspension parts, you're usually better off replacing in pairs whenever possible. It at least rules out one more possible issue later on. If you replaced tires & tie rod ends, make sure you've got a good alignment done. I've noticed that after i replaced my upper arms, lower ball joints & inner/outer tie rod ends, that it took a couple tries for them to get the alignment to a point where my car didn't seem to twitchy and wander back and forth. Of course it doesn't help that my camber is a touch more negative than usual with my springs/drop.

Is it possible you're experiencing "wandering" and not swaying. The anti-sway bar helps to keep the body and tires parallel to the road surface. You know how the car's body tends to lean to the outside of a corner? That is reduced allowing the tires to remain in solid contact with road, allowing for better/tighter cornering at higher speeds.

Unfortunately, an upgraded version of the endlinks remains at large as far as I know. Perhaps someone might shed some light on possible alternatives to OEM?

So far as I know (granted I haven't looked too awful hard) they don't list fronts for any Legends...only Integra 86-89 & 90-93..... Here's the link for their fitment list: ADDCO: Acura-Buick Anti-Sway Bars

That all being said, if anyone knows of a front bar for the G1, lemme know too.
