I dont think the EM2 front bar will fit, somethign about the catilitic converter being in the way. (At least the EX bar wont fit, Dont know about the others).

I'll ask around to see if it will fit.

The EP3/DC5 bars will fit each other, but the the EM/ES bars won't fit on the DC5/EP3 and vice versa.
With that in mind...Zzyzx...you're getting the DC5 bar? and you think that will fit YOUR car? I'm lost now, lol, I KNOW the DC5 bar will fit MY EP3...but how are you gonna make it fit your EM2?
But if you wanna do the deal, I'm in. Just lemme know the details of when, where, and how, and it'll be all good.
ON our cars the EM2, DC5 and EP3 ect.... all pretty much have interchangable rear suspensions... Infact just about all of the suspension parts are interchangalbe, with the exception of the front anti-roll bars.
The only concern I have for the rear bar is if it will clear the exaust. (Not that I would mind geting rid of my current exaust)

Ahh...so yer gonna get the DC5 bars, and I'll buy the front one off ya?
Sounds good. Like I said, lemme know when and how you wanna do it, and we're good to go.
just about all suspension bits from the EM2 will fit the EP3, as well as parts from the DC5.
i agree that the stock tires suck, when i put my 215/45-17 kumhos on, WOW! the front end friggin DUG in and she turned so awesome! its weird cause with the same 17" treads, my old EM2 never reacted like that...

It probably won't clear your exhaust. I had a shop do something small for me. They wrapped it in rubber hose and clamped it with a ring clamp. Hasn't rattled since, but I know it hits. And I only have a 19mm sway.

I have the 19mm too with the Greddy Evo exaust, and it rubs when ever I take a hard Right. :| I'm sick of the exaust now any way... Too loud, Too big, Most likely too heavy, and no extra power. basically a waste of $500. I'm just going to have some thing built, with 2 to 2.25" piping, and a decent (Quitet) flowing exaust. (With a tip no larger then the pipe entering it.. (No coffee can exaust tips please)).

Are aftermarket sway bars, illegal for GS ? Would that put me into STS again?
If so.....I'm gonna leave the sway bars off for a while....at least two events.
Oh...and if I were to obtain a Civic Type-R LSD.....is that considered "aftermarket" ? Which would be illegal for STS....? Just curious as to whether or not I should save for one, or if it will just bump me into STX.....which is a NO NO for me...right now. lol
.. Stock allows you to change the front bar only. Lucky you.
and LSDs arnt legal for STS (Only Stock Viscous Coupling ones are), Youd Have to run STX or STU
