Yes, to GSR ones or 92-95 EX/Si ones.

You can also use any 1994-2001 Integra LCAs since they all came with a front swaybar.

May I ask the original topic starter:

Why do you want such a big front bar?

You do know that unless you have stiffer springs in the rear or a bigger rear swaybar that that front GS-R bar will only add understeer, which will suck.

Do you currently run a ***-happy spring combo or a big rear bar? I'd imagine that the front GS-R bar alone will only hurt performance, not help.

I'd add the Si/Ex front bar and then step up the rear bar to the ITR-spec 22mm or so.

What are your springs rates though? If you're way stiffer in the rear then the front bar might help out with some balancing, but I doubt H&R would set you up with ***-happy springrates.

Junkyards would be your best bet for the 1992-1995 Si/EX bar, and used is just fine.

Jusrt make sure you get some LCAs and the endlinks as well, or you'll be pissed once you jack your car up.



As far as the ITR rear bar goes, thr bar itself can probably be found here in the classifieds - many ITR guys upgraded.
