Default sway bar issues...help me out

wut up fellas...

anyway i rode back home for thanksgiving (450+ miles) and my car developed an odd noise on the way there. It seems like the sway bar is hitting repeatably at low rpms (1.5-3k) when going at slow speeds or when turning slowly. I have the dc race header(2nd batch), but i have also installed a type s sway bar and motor mount inserts to cure the clearance issues. I have feelin that what is causing the problem is broken endlinks....

anybody had issues with their endlinks? when i installed the type s sway i did it while it was on jackstands...possibly the sway's allignment was off causing the endlinks to break? any opinions..what endlinks should i buy...im a college student, so im kinda on a budget

help me out guys lol

Someone from 7thgencivic.com under the screen name "Grey" sells endlinks for around 65.00. They are much like the Hotchkis endlinks but much cheaper.

im havin the same problem.. i thought it would be the sway bar too or the shield where the cat would go.. i have a rsx s and installed it yesterday.. annoying rattles. i was wondering if the header piping diameter when met w/ the b pipe diameter would make an odd noise?

Do you have a link for them? I want to check those out. I haven't bought upgraded endlinks yet and I'm taking it lightly so my stock ones don't break yet.
