Default ASR subframe CTR sway w/ what front sway?

I have a EM1 and I ordered the ASR rear subframe w/ CTR sway bar, what should I use in the front? CTR or is the stock sway good enough to compensate.

Stock front is the same size as the CTR (26mm). It's plenty big.

Well since everyone is asking for feedback, ive had this setup on my 99 ex for a while now and I LOVE it. I went from the si rear sway to this setup and its a huge difference. Great handling...

Yeah I am in the army stationed at ft. bragg,...anyways i installed the ASR brace thats no big deal at all great fitment etc...But the CTR sway bar is a nother story. First it didnt come with any bushing brackets to mount it on the ASR brace. You can buy those same brackets and bushings like the guy did in the picture above at pep-boys, o rileys, autozone pretty much any auto parts store. I have a custom 2.5" exhaust and needless to say the sway bar really dont fit all that great or at all. My stock si bar is even rubbing a little so...I will just have to take it to a muffler shop.

Your kit did not come with the bushings? Where did you get the kit from?

I orderd the kit form passwordjdm.com. It came with bushings but nothing to mount the bushings to the asr brace. So what I am going to do is buy new bushings and mount from energy bushings at autozone or something and put it on the brace, just like in the picture above.

You might want to get it on an alignment rack to fix the toe-out problem you have.

No I figured it should come with the brackets, I didnt ask them anything because on sunday I go back to iraq so its kind of a lost cause. Im sure the kit usually comes with the brackets i think i was just another statistic.
