bump

 

My Tanabe isn't even close to my DCRH.

 

what do you think about the hotchkis..

 

Sorry, all I can say is something wasn't designed right: header or sway bar. I'm thinking header.

 

well they are replicas so theres always going to be a flaw

I juS' order my Buddy Club header that I will be installin' med July... But i KnO' for a fact that I have to replace my stock sway bar with a EM2 (2001-05 Civc) or a TODA Racing Sway Bar, because the BC header will hit it... I dont knO about your header, but im sure either one would work ...

 

i just fixed my problem.. the oring on the injector was riped and it was causing a sick leak and the whole car would shake so after i replaced it the car would idle alot better and the header doesnt hit anymore. so thanks for your help

 

LOL, I'd get an ETD or ESMM.

Good thing you found that gas leak.

 

Don't attach the hanger from the header. You don't need it and it's not necessary. The stock swaybar should clear the Megan raceheader. I think that's how they designed it.
But any JDM or Japanese manufacture sway bar will clear. I am currently using a Hotchkis sway bar and it clears a lot. If you're not looking to spend a lot of money. An 01-05 Civic EX (AKA EM2) sway bar fits. It clears any header. And it's bigger than the stock 02-04 sway bar. So it upgrades the handling a bit. It's about the same size as the 05-06 RSX-S sway bar.

 

yeah i have esmm and it feels good. well ever since i put them on the header has started to hit. means its stiff as [freak]

 

yeah i cut off the hanger its not needed. and im probably going with hotchkis its 140 is that a good price

 

For just the front? It better come with endlinks and bushings. Or else [freak] it.

 

sorry to jump in but i have a realated question, sort of. i just ordered a Strup race header, do i have to replace the stock sway bar for it to fit?

 

i think your good with the stock sway bar.

Actually I've read people having sway bar + header contact also on stock header and DCRH when they installed ESMM. I don't have a solution, but it seems to be pretty common.
