hi everyone, google and sreach abit in ozhonda but no luck

the dc2 factory RSB come with endlink

which is this one

but just wonder will it direct bolt on my eg? or i need to get a ASR?
so confuse now ~~~

i dunno if this applies to eg, but for ek's, excluding ek9... they require a subframe brace, to prevent rear subframe tear out, due to excess force from the thicker sway bar.... its been covered a few times, quick search should reveal, and also few members here have gone through this experience, like DYNALL, anything from 18mm plus is a must... reason why type-rs dont need it because they already have this rear subframe stiffened from the factory... If egs are anything like ek's best bet to get one

Yes you will need one.

u dont need an ASR for the DC2 sway bar its straight bolt on, ASR is not needed but its recommended.

^^^ yeah you should get an ASR otherwise you'll cry if the rear subframe tears out. It'll also add to the bling factor lol

thz for the information! just got myself one from ASR! cheez!!!!

DC2 rear sway bar thickness is 14mm which is the same as EG5...if it's 22mm i assume it would be from a DC2R, which means that u would need ASR brace as the mounting holes for the 22mm sway bar is different than the stock EG5

yes. you need a asr brace. you'll regret if you dont get it :)
