ITR front swaybar on 93 hatch cx??
I just got my hands on an ITR front swaybar (no endlinks) and I was wondering what kinds of hardware I'll need to install this on my 93 cx hatch which was not factory equipped with any swaybars.
BTW: I am also installing the matching ITR rear swaybar with beaks kit and gsr lca's. I tried searching but the only topics covered were the rear sways. Thanks!

front lower control arms with swaybar endlink bolt holes.
endlinks and bolts.
D-brackets to mount the bar to the chassis.
and a mathcing ITR rear swaybar

Cool, thanks guys! The matching ITR rear sway will go on first since I already have all the parts needed to make that happen. I appreciate all the help. What should I expect from this mod? Take into consideration that my car has never had any sways. Is this too excessive? Should I opt for smaller bars? I don't autocross now but I plan on getting into it in the future.

I would not run such a big front bar on the car...
I'd try to run at most a 1992-1995 Si/Ex front bar and a pretty stiff spring in the rear or a bigger rear swaybar like a 22mm one.

Re: ITR front swaybar on 93 hatch cx?? (B18C5-EH2)
I already am installing a 22mm ITR rear swaybar......I'm pretty sure USDM ITR's came with 22mm rear sways. So when all is said and done, I will have a 26mm front sway and a 22mm rear sway on my 93 cx hatch. For those who have had experience with this set-up, please share with me the pros and cons. Thanks.

b18c5-eh2 - wouldn't that make the hatch crazy tail happy? i have only had my eh for a week so i don't have any personal experience driving an EH to the limits, but a friend had a bit of trouble keeping from spinning out in a bone stock 92 si and an ls powered cx hatch.
i want to have very slight understeer at the limit, what sway bar setup would be good for that?
TIA

No, actually that setup should make the car pretty neutral, with predictable off throttle oversteer. I wouldn't put a 26 or 24mm (what size is the front itr bar?) on my car. At the most I would use the stock eg one like Tom suggested.

Yeah ITR front bar is 24mm. I'm running the 24mm GSR front with stock 14mm GSR rear and so far understeer isn't too bad and once a larger rear bar goes on, its should definitely feel better. Just MHO. Once I get the car on to a road course setting it should definitly give me a better idea towards the type of racing I'm trying to gear toward.

Re: ITR front swaybar on 93 hatch cx?? (ill phil)
Just want to confirm... to put any front swaybar on my EG (not factory swaybar equiped) I will need to get LCA's that were factory equiped with a swaybar. What options do I have? I'm looking to get a GSR/Si front swaybar.

Re: ITR front swaybar on 93 hatch cx?? (VolpeOwnsU)
gsr and type r front bar are the same size. 24mm. you will need the front lca's from any 94-00 integra or any from 92-95 civic lx or ex. the endlinks you will need to mount the bar are from a gsr 94-00. go to any import junkyard get them used or they will cost you a pretty penny brand new from the dealer. i have the current type r front and rear sway bars. the are great for the street but i guess if you are going to take your car to the track and want a slightly more neutral feel when taking hard turns then go with an ex/si front sway so there is less understeer. have fun with the install and be careful when you put the type r bar on w/o no front sway.
