Default smallest front swaybar

Whats the smallest front swaybar you can fit on a DC2? Possibly from a civic?

None. However, that tends to make the car oversteer.

I would just keep the stock fsb, or upgrade to a slightly larger bar. Even the itr has a large front sway bar.

I already have an ITR rear and stock DC2 front and my spring rates are 12kf/14kr. I took the front bar off for a few events and it slowed me down quiet a bit. It became pretty sloppy in sloloms and offsets. With the stock bar on it, it oversteers and understeers. I'm looking for a little more oversteer and my two options are smaller front swaybar or I can jump up to a 24mm asr rear bar

All I have done is intake, pads, asr subframe brace, Autopower rollbar, wheels, and tires. Once your autox for the first time, you'll be addicted

So you got both understeer and oversteer with the stock front bar in place? I don't think any front bar changes are going to help much.

You could always go with the earlier Integra LS's 22mm front bar.
