The EP3 bar will give you slightly less front roll stiffness and less overall roll stiffness so you might get more roll in corners but I suspect the difference will be very minor. Let us know how it goes.

On the topic of coilvoers etc, i've reverted back to a stock setup. Now i remember the stock setup being quite bouncey, and now i've had a short, soft drive. The car feels stiff? What do you reckon it could be?
I've got semi's on up front, lower profile wheels in the rear, the camber arms havnt been adjsuted, but the neg camber has decreased. Anyone care to shed some light on this subject?Comment

hey fellas, out of curiosity iv just purchased a jdm dc5r sway bar.. will this clear my aftermarket headers the same as a ep3 sway bar??
and what is the sizing differance compared to the ep3 bar if anybody knowsComment
-
Front sway bar I am guessing? Yes it will clear aftermarket headers the same as an EP3 bar but it won't connect up to the lower control arm correctly unless you have JDM LCAs.Comment
-
It will clear aftermarket headers in a DC5R as long as it has the rest of the front end is JDM spec (hubs, knuckles lcas etc). Otherwise it will be too long to bolt up. Not sure on how much difference there is but it is definitely enough to make it unusable.Originally posted by DC:53:XX View PostsigpicCurrent holder of the Win folder.Comment

lol ok.. just found out the sway bar i bought is a rear jdm sway bar...
whats the dc5 regular rear sway bar size??Comment
-
The Australian DC5 Type R has a 19mm rear sway bar, the Type S has a 21mm apparently (I haven't measured myself) and the JDM Type R is 22mm for both pre and post facelift I believe. Not sure what size the swaybars are on the base models,Originally posted by DC:53:XX View PostComment

lol yeah i found that out... thanks heaps..
where would you guys reccomend getting a front sway from?? was going to just grab an ep3 sway bar but there 200 bucks posted roughly...
cusco ones from yahoo japan are a fair bit cheaper..Comment
-
cusco front sway is made for jdm dc5r, so again it won't fit aus spec dc5 unless you have jdm brembo,lca,hubs conversion,Originally posted by DC:53:XX View Post
and can you really get a cusco shipped here for less than $200, i doubt it02 Indy Yellow s2000::::::04 Arctic Blue Pearl DC5R::::::05 White B2600::::::10 Ibis White Q5Comment

guys, looking at getting some more neg camber in the REAR, besides camber arms, are tehre such things as a camber bolt for the rear by any chance?? looking at getting -4 to -5 camber in the rear?Comment
-
I don't know of anything additional like that except these bushes that Whiteline make: LINK. Will give you a little additional camber, but it might be easier to get adjustable upper arms that allow more negative adjustment. Have you checked where you are in the adjustment range of your current arms? -4 to -5 should be very easy to achieve since lowering until the tyre is level with the guards should get around -3 or more anyway.Originally posted by plAythiNG View Post
If you want a set of those Whiteline bushes then I have a set.Comment

Thanks tom, it depends if i sell my wheels or not.
On other news, what do people think of those master bushing replacement kits. I know energy suspension is selling a kit for ~$100usd.Comment

less compliance is always good with the poly bushes but one must ask if it is worth the pita installing them and how long before they suffer plastic deformation and become as effective as oem bushes. i rekon the pci's we have will make the biggest difference once we put them inOriginally posted by plAythiNG View PostComment

You read my mind steve.
The bushings are cheap as, but im thinking labour will be expensove, but most importantly, the longevity of these bushings...Comment
