    Front sway bar issue

    Hi everyone,,

    Need a little help a mate has bought a set tanabe front and rear sway bar for his jdm ep3 on the package it says (For dc5/ep3 si) I know the rear sway are interchangeable between ep3 and dc5, but is the front sway different?

    Thanks

    Cheers for the respond that's what I thought tooo the only reason I question it is because of the middle bump where the headers cheers is different.

    is it stronger or weaker, the front bar that is.

    If it is stronger, you probably shouldn't actually want it....

    the dc5r front sway is same as ep3 stock as far as strength. its longer to compensate for the wider LCAs.

    after stating that, as long as its not for dc5r then it should be the normal shorter version that you could use on any ep3 with factory lca's.

    the tanabe's will fit. ctr doesn't use aluminum lca.
