greddy DC5 bar fits 7thgen !!!! NOW WITH PICS !!

well i've been curious for months now thinkin the greddy bar with fit my em2, so i finally bought one and it came in a few mins ago. its exactly the same setup as the spoon bar the mounts are adjustable so you can move them up or down and fits like a glove. for 103.00 bucks shipped from rsxmotorsports you can't beat that. i'll get some pics of the bar when i'm at work today, but i'm headin out to test drive it.

damn! you payed $100 for that??!!?? you could have got the same thing on e-bay for like $15. i'm shure the greddy is much stronger/better quality though. you should have gone with the newspeed for the price. oh well, anything is better than not having one and the strut towers caving....

i HEARD that all the strut bars and tie bars and sway bars for a DC5 would fit our 7thgens......meaning front AND rear. Never gone out to actually see if its true or not. I guess this proves the upper strut works.....

well some will fit and some wont, i know for a fact that all spoon bars will fit our cars with no problem. however both front and rear mugen bars and the hotchkiss front strut bar will not work at all.

Rear sway bar will fit. Tested and comfirm.

For Front Sway bars I heard that you will have to get the EP3 front which is the civic type R

1) any rear sway for DC5/EP3/ES1/EM2 are interchangable
2) Front sway bars for the DC5/EP3 will only fit if you have an LX/DX because the EX cat is in the way.
3) Strut bars MAY or MAYNOT fit, but it looks like mrdfw has found another one. I know the spoon bars fit.

BTW, how is Greddy JDM?

if you have intake, nothing will fit upfront...unless u have the intake without the hump (like the dude who posted the pic)

dc5 and ep3 front strut bars will fit if you have factory airbox (or intake without hump)
if you have intake, you'll need either j's racing ep3 front strut, dc sport, or neuspeed

sway bars are all the same

rear strut is different tho....dc5 and ep3 rear struts don't fit (spoon, mugen, etc etc etc), but the ep3 type-r factory rear strut does fit...

Not to bash you but you are sorta right. The neuspeed and DC bars will fit around any intake aftermarket or stock. I don't know about the j's racing one however.

All I was asking was how Greddy was JDM...from my understanding they are an American company associated with Trust (A japanese company). Just because they are associated with Trust, doesn't mean the parts are JDM. If I am wrong in that understanding, then please correct me. Again, I was just asking...

i am so fvcking sick of hearing "JDM" its ridiculous.

if you want a god damn jdm style car, do a RHD conversion. otherwise your mods most of you call JDM have NOTHING to do with the japanese civic. EVERYONE stop abusing this fvcking phrase!

does anyone else here even remember what JDM really means?!?!
