Default For those of you with a Progress rear sway...

I have an 02 Si. The part number I got was 26.0102 but the bar seems a little too long. The endlinks (I have corsport endlinks) seem like they have a lot of pressure on them. I also had to turn the endlink around (as opposed to stock) so I could get it to fit. Should I worry about my endlinks? What did you guys do about the exhaust touching the swaybar?

If anyone has pics of their bar install I would like to see it to compare.

Yeah, DCRH. But I'm talking rear sway. How did your endlinks look when bolted up to the bar? They they would break?

can't really answer that question because i used the stock endlinks for the short time that i had it

the reason why i ask the type of header you had is because that is the problem with the touching you have with the swaybar (dcrh)

when i sold it to my friend, he didn't have that problem
i asked him what was the difference between his setup and mine
he said he added an adapter(extention) between his raceheader and his midpipe
seems to take care of that problem

he didn't added much, i'm not sure the exact size

just looking at where the rear bumper and tip was, you can tell the difference

mine was more sunk in, where as his still looked stock

The endlinks are adjustable, the bar is not. I have the endlinks as short as they will go. Making them longer would just give them more stress. So the stock are holding up? Then I can trust my corsports.

I don't know how anyone can get stock endlinks off without a grinder... I cut 3 of 4 off.

A little long how? You mean too far out towards the wheel or something?

FWIW, I'm running the Mugen 25mm rear bar with OEM endlinks. No problems whatsoever.
