The tcs uses the front brakes to control the spin of each wheel.
When it turns it will use the inside front brake to increase turn it and stability. It's called Honda's agile handling assist or something like that.
Check the tab that connects to the front sway bar endlinks, it needs to be facing forward, and not angled inward, it should be completely parallel to the liner in the wheel well. Otherwise the endlink will hit the wheel well liner. You can check for rub marks as well. I had this problem.

Sounds like rod knock. Especially if it sounds like it is coming from the center...
My last car had what sounded like a loose O2 sensor or bracket or something. Metal on metal rattling, coming from the center of the block. It threw a rod shortly after.
Don't drive it if you can help it...
For a regular tire they are fine.
If you drive hard at all they will wear horribly, the treads will have chunks come off. They will warm quickly, but once warm they have about 15 seconds of grip before they become greasy and start sliding. Basically they suck for performance. And if you don't...
I also have the 2.0l, and basically all there is for intakes is aem, and injen. Both are good brands, and won't hurt the motor long term.
For manifolds, you can swap in a k24 manifold, but it is not a direct fit and will require you to modify it as well as have a throttle body off of a j...
Anyone think their downpipe for the accord sport would fit?
I had one as a loaner car for a week and it looked pretty much identical down there.
I'm pretty sure someone on here had swapped the intake manifold off a k24 accord onto the 2.0l, might work?
Had this kit on my other car, pretty similar in size/weight, there is way more bite, definitely less fade than this car.
Only thing is they wear super quick if you drive hard often. As in small stress fractures on some of the rotors by the vents. Plus the pads glaze sooner than you'd like.
