Your stock sway bar should fit just fine. The end of the sway bar is hooked to the endlinks which are hooked to the knuckle. Towards the middle of the sway bar they are bolted to the subframe. Your sway bar should work out fine but not to sure bout the clearance of the header. You might have to use the ep3/rsx sway bar not to sure.

actually if u read the forums on clubrsx they always say to use a em2 sway bar when putting any sort of race header on a rsx or ep3, so i dont see why it wouldnt work

Thats actually mainly for k24 swaps in the ep3 or dc5. The reason is because of the k24 sits different and with some headers it will not clear the original sway bar thus having to either go without one or changing to the em2 sway.
