Dc2r swaybar into eg5

[yellows2k]

Can the dc2r swaybar use the standard eg5 endlinks or should u upgrade them to the dc2r ones or get an aftermarket brand?
I'm looking to get this swaybar and the asr brace, just need to see wat I can get away without. I guess it's always better to upgrade everything to new but if it doesn't need then why bother

You need to use DC2R endlinks, D brackets, bushings etc.

[yellows2k]

Well that puts a spanner in my plans

[vtecing]

ive just done rsb upgrade on my eg5, check out my thread for photos. but i just used the asr and got a whiteline rsb kit, came with endlinks.

[mocchi]

i think eg5 and dc2r is the same endlinks.
saw an eg vti sedan that came with rsb and the endlinks are the same like dc2r.

[yellows2k]

ok, can someone give me a definite answer here. any resident expert. kiet from belgarage said the endlinks will work, i got some guy saying it doesnt.
where is 90lan or benjamin when u need them

[mocchi]

im not good enough. :( lol
i feel so sad.

[LLS]

What's your lca? if it's stock.. just stick with the ITR endlinks..

[yellows2k]

stock lca. so ur saying dc2r endlinks and it will slot in

[90LAN]

never installed a itr rear sway before so i dont know pretty sure they are the same

i would use the itr endlinks if i did
made for the itr rear sway

[yellows2k]

ok, so the d brackets and everything else i can reuse from the eg5 rsb? just need new endlinks?

[90LAN]

no d brackets are bigger on the itr sway

i would just get all itr sway parts

[vtecing]

i just checked my dc2r endlinks and my old eg5 endlinks and they are pretty much the same. You will be able to use ur standard endlinks if you choose to. You will need 22mm d-bushes, d-bush brackets and some type of subframe reinforcment. dc2r rear subframe is completly different. Not sure how hard it is to find a dc2r rsb with d-bush brackets. and I would be getting brand new bushes while ur at it. And just a tip, make sure u grase them, they can be very creaky.

[mocchi]

got bush for sale 22mm $10
brackets get from honda $12 each i think.

[yellows2k]

well im piecing it together atm, got a asr brace, dc2r rsb. got the eg5 endlinks. so i just need the d bushes and bracket. (jdmyard have the kit for $90).
hey mocchi, hit me up with a reply pm, need ur help brother

[mocchi]

do you have ek or eg?
why do you need ek endlinks?

[yellows2k]

I got both but I'm chasing down eg compatible parts, so all I need is the d bushes and brackets, can u help me out with a lead

[mocchi]

got bush for sale 22mm $10
brackets get from honda $12 each i think.

can you read?
no one will want to separate their brackets. its just too hard to find.

for ek i sent you pm, read the pm.

[yellows2k]

Sorry, I misread, I'll look for ur fs thread for the bushes, and I'll call Honda spares for d bracket.

[mocchi]

bracket part number is 52308-SS0-000
swaybar bush part # is 52315-ST7-Z01

[yellows2k]

Cool, rep pt for u friend

[kcokla]

mr s2k,
i am quite certain that the endlinks are the same.


as for the bushes,and d bracketsyou can get them for $40 from jdm yard- energy suspension, probably more stiffer than oem too.

hope thishelps.

[yellows2k]

I grabbed the bushes and brackets off col Crawford honda parts $60 for the lot, cheaper than the traders here, sorry about the lack of support

[yellows2k]

ok, i got the asr bar installed (i diy painted matte black) with the dc2r rsb and the bushes and brackets, and used the existing eg5 endlinks.
ill give it a good run when driving to work, im excited. i got away only $360 out of pocket for all this

[vtecing]

pics?

[yellows2k]

I'll get some in better light but it looks like any other asr and dc2r combo but mine is matte black

how's the handling on the car now? is there a major difference now compared to before?

[yellows2k]

I wouldn't say it's like night and day but in sweeping corners where the carwould lean before it now pulls into shape quicker and feels more solid
I haven't tried to throw it around as I usually carry stuff and don't want it flying around the back

ive got the same setup, there is a major difference. if you corner hard without it and with it, youll feel it. if you corner lkie a grandma and not trying to push it, you wont feel it!

there u go, excuse the bolts, didnt spray them

[vtecing]

nice, looks nice and stock. yeh id say long sweeping bends it helps but still a fair bit of body roll, even with new sussy. The is a dramatic change on the touge. I would say I have the same percentage of increased handling with my lower front spoon brace which was only $200.
