i know it is possible, how bad of thing is it to run it without they sway bar? i have the rh on and everytime i go into reverse the sway bar hits the header and i get really aggresive grinding sound?

dunno if it is from the sway bar hitting the header or its the cai getting in the way of the shift linkage, anyone else have this happen after installing the rh?

 

Yeah its possible, but I wouldn't try pushing the car very hard unless your pretty experienced with that kind of driving.

 

Can't say that I'd recommend running w/o it.

 

All without front sway bar: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2340595

It's been off for months (about 4)

 

i have the type R brembo conversion and have been running without a front sway bar for some time now its not too bad i didnt really notice a differance but i also have buddyclub suspension and 3 trunk bars.
why dont you try finding out why your header is hitting it really shouldnt be have you checked the rubber hanger? maybe you need new motormounts?

i think i may just have to try it out.... idk

 

nothing will happen, not that you would notice for daily driving anyway. just for some background i track my car regularly, and have already tried it...

 

OT: What about driving without a rear sway bar? I was in the middle of putting an ITR 22mm on my EP3, and the endlink stripped out. So I had to chop off the endlink. I'm currently waiting for the Corsport ones. Its cool to drive without the bar/endlinks right? I won't be driving hard or anything. Just to work and the girl's house and stuff

 

you can drive without the front OR rear sway bars. it just helps the car "handle" better

 

Ive been running mine with no front sway for about 4 months and it handles fine you just have to get used to it. Do you have any kind of motor mount upgade? you are supossed to do that with a race header to prevent it from hitting the sway.

 

makes the car drive sloppy, noticeable difference with struts and springs

 

Its not that bad at all. If your like going around turns alot then you might not like it to much but if not it shouldnt bother you.

 

u could get a civic EX one from an em2 they make it possible to fit the sway aver the header and its cheap i got one on the EP3 to clear the spoon header
