DC2 Integra sway bars do fit in the front. For the rear I would say just go straight to an ASR setup. Size recommendations are a bit tough because it really comes down to individual preference and setup, tires etc.

This stuff has been covered over and over again. Why do the same questions keep coming up? Start learning how to search. If you don't know you don't need it.

I run gsr front and rears on my 93 si, 380/380 spring rates, start there for an oem upgrade you will need the teg rear lca, if you want more after that you can get a brace for the rear and upgrade to a 22mm itr bar

redline was being very polite.

you were too but.... you didn't do any homework.

if you had you would know:

dc integras and eg civics have the same(almost) suspension front and rear.

the difference in size from si civic F/R sway bar and gsr inegra F/R sway bar.

integra type r has a much larger bar and requires fitment of a sub frame brace and the end links are different.

so with just a little bit of searching and reading you could answer your own question on the sway bar issue. hell you really don't have to search very hard and this is why people get jumped on for not searching before asking a question.

some of the people on the forum compiled all the Frequently Asked Questions (yours is one) and sorted out all the tech information and listed cross referencing for parts you can swap from other models and good choices for shock/spring set ups for what you are trying to achieve with your car.

so when people like you ignore all the work these people have done they get a little peeved.

a guide has been provided for every forum on this site so you can make your own decisions on how to mod your car.

not to be a jerk but I kinda agree with redline. if you cant do just a little bit of research than you really don't need to do anything to your vehicle.

which is ok, you will actually be doing yourself a huge favor by learning how to drive your car fast without modification. then when you DO gain some knowledge and make good upgrades you will see enormous gains and much lower lap times.

read up, go join an auto X club, enjoy!

Ok I do have a question lol sway bar links? You say they are different? I was going to get the adjustable end links will that be fine? I already have my lower control arms and already priced out the front bar.

ITR stuff will work but you will soon find out that the lower control arms you bought will not work with itr endlinks. ITR parts will fit an eg with only stock lower control arms due to the endlink mounting point. Most aftermarket lower control arms will require aftermarket endlinks , but you will need the adapter bushings for the sway bar /endlink mounting holes.

And I was not trying to be an *** about this. Most of this stuff is covered, you just need to know what you're searching and searching for. Knowledge does not come free. I know this because I've spent countless hours searching, testing, and more searching. So don't you come pushing at my door telling me not to answer your ignorant questions.

Well what end links would I use? For the rear if I went with a itr rear sway bar?there are adjustable ones out there would that work? I'm doing research but not finding what I'm really needing. This is what I'm wanting to do and parts I have.
Pic lower control arms for rear.
What I need: sway bar,brackets subframe brace, end links. So what end links would work with that set up or will itr not work with this? For rear!!

itr end links have a ball joint end that attaches to the arm. you can find them all day long on amazon.

if youre getting an ASR subframe brace (which you should if you go with a bar the size of an itr) then just pick up an ASR kit that includes a bar, lca's, and the brace.

are you upgrading your shocks and springs too? if not you should probably go with a GSR bar. just less stuff to buy if you want a bigger bar.

IMHO, you will see more benefit from upgrading your shocks and springs since you already have front and rear sway bars. you may only spend 2/3 of the money upgrading your sway bars and subframe but the cost/benefit ratio is more bias on the cost without having better absorbers and springs already in place.

koni sport yellow adjustables paired with ground control coilovers will transform your hatch, like nite and day, and you can pick up a set for round 700 bucks, and they install in a very short time.

Yes I was going to go with tokico illiuminas shocks and I haven't found a coilovers yet still reading on a spring rate that would be good for what I'm doing.
And I was originally going to go with eibach sway bars 24mm front 17 rear.
But I was told the the itr bars would fit so I called a parts store my shop deals with and I can get the front 30$ new and 35$ rear lol so I would really like to stay away from buying everything for the rear as a package deal from asr. But I do plane on getting the subframe brace I've read that it will tear out the rear subframe. Also I'm getting all the parts I want them putting them on so the bars won't go on until its lowered if that say anything.

very good, for ease of installation I would definitely go with the eibach units. don't know how much they are but I bet its in the same neighborhood as getting oem itr bars and supporting components.

if you get a brace, make certain its an ASR. I could be wrong but I think its the only "brace" on the market. everything else is just a glorified lower tie bar.

get her set up, take pics, tell us how much more you enjoy your ride!

See above. The adjustable end-links will work, but you will need an adapter bushing kit for the swaybar endlink mounting holes. The aftermarket endlinks use an M10 bolt where as the ITR endlinks use an M8 bolt. The bushings on the ITR sway bar will need to be removed for the adapter bushing kit.

How many more times do I need to repeat?
