I just bought a RSB today and I took it from a 4th gen. I want to install tomorrow and I was just looking up different procedures online and I seen some threads that say that all are compatible and I see some say that the brackets are different because of the different size trailing arms...I really don't know what brand it is, its either a Addco or Progress..below are some picture of it and I wanted to know if the brackets that go to the trailing arm will work for 5th gens or am I going to need to have different trailing arm bracket...

Picture of the whole RSB:

Any 5th gen guys that have RSB, can I use this bracket or is it only for 4th gens??

 

Thats an Addco and Im not sure about cross generation compatibility.

 

Well I think I found my answer within this thread....

but where the answer really came clear was in this thread (post #24) which by looking at the pics it should work..

The rear sway bar from Progress (stock # 62.1520) fits 1995 through 2003. I would think the Addco would be the same in that respect.

 

The bars are exactly the same between the Addco and Progress brands, but your hardware says it's a Progress Bar.....Addco uses a U bolt that's more of a square shape to fit around the trailing arms....Progress hardware is far superior to the Addco......I have an Addco bar that I upgraded with a Progress Hardware kit!!!!

 

Looks just like my Progress bar.
I would think it would work on a 5th gen.

 

yea I installed yesterday and everything was straight forward. Just had to slide the trailing arm bracket past the brake line and the ABS sensor and everything worked just fine...

 

Congrats on the install. How do you like it? Does the car feel or behave much differently? I have been toying with the idea of getting one.

 

Appreciate it man, the install was easy and only took about 30 min and it feels pretty good, im pretty sure it will feel better once I get some new struts since im still on stock struts.
