** HELP **I've searched and searched....... Ok I've done about 2 days worth of searching and I still have questions.
I currently drive a 2001 Lx Coupe
I purchased:
HP 4-1 Race header with high flow 'cat'
GReddy Evo II cat back
Progress 27 mm front sway bar
now from what I have read my Progress front sway bar might not fit. I searched Grey's posts and I think he got his to fit. My Progress bar is the grey one, not the puke green one. does that make a difference?
Sorry if the answer was right in front me me, but I don't know if everything will fit.
Also,
What exactly do I use to extend my o2 sensor wires
What is the 'O' ring needed? and where does it go?
Is there anything I'm forgetting?

Rep Power: 511 just purchase EX o2 sensor wires from www.hondaautomotiveparts.com and they will plug right in.
the sway bar will fit. the only difference between LX and EX i think is either the design or the size, but either way im positive the mounting points are the same and it should fit.

The difference between the LX and EX front sway bars is the curve in the middle. If I remember correctly, the curve for the EX front sway bar is a little wider than the curve for the LX so that it can fit the cat converter.
Wait, were you asking if the front sway bar will fit. . . as in, bolt right on? Or, if it will fit with the cat underneath?

Rep Power: 0 Yo, dunno about the sway bar dude, but by the o-ring Im guessing you are referring to the donut gasket? they're about 40 bucks from a muffler shop. I made my own of course, out of aluminum foil hehehe.

Rep Power: 412 No one will know if it will work with that set up. Progress redesigned the front sway bar to fit all 7thgens. I would say get the sway bar first and work around that. It is easier to do custom pipes than to custom a sway bar. you can have your pipes bent to go around the sway bar. If you plan on getting the progress rear sway bar, I suggest getting the greddy bent also because it will tap agains the sway bar.

The pipe on my TCS touches a tiny bit on the rear bar but only for a couple of minutes when the car is cold. After that you almost never hear it unless you hit a pothole or something.

Rep Power: 412 yeah but you have the TCS and not a hp header and downpipe. He is more concerned with the front not hitting. But like pharoh said, it might bang more when it is cold and may stop. but I don't know what it is like with the greddy. It won't have to be bent that much. You can sometimes put a buffer in between them, but a more permanent fix would be to have it bent.

ok sweet, now I'm not really that worried.
do you have an o2 sensor or simulator? Do you have your CEL on?

You have to remember one thing. They gurantee those bars to fit the car. Not the car with other than OEM parts on it. Still, I think you'll be ok. If I could I would get a pic of the front bar for ya.
