Default Front sway bar?

Hey guys, just ran down to my local Acura dealer. I was gonna place an order for the front and rear ITR sway bars for my EG (94 hatch), but the part guy said the front will not fit. So I only ordered the rear one. So what's would be a good front sway bar for my EG? Thanks in advance!!

1992-1995 Civic Si/EX 4-door, or 1993-1995 Civic EX 2dr front swaybar.

Bigger front bar is not always better, in fact I personally do not run one right now.

A big front bar can actually cause understeer. If you have a big ***-happy/oversteering problem then a bigger front bar might help, but it's not always better.

My suspension set-up is not for everyone though, as some people could not enjoy/handle the rear stepping out like it can.

Oh BTW:

The ITR front bar can and will fit on a 1992-1995 Civic chassis - a friend of mine did that.

On certain model civic (CX, VX, DX, LX) you need to get lower control arms that will accept a sway bar.

Yes that is true - I assumed he knew this already.

You can get the LCAs from any 1992-1995 Si or EX civic or any 1994-2001 Integra (any model) from what I've seen.

In order to make the 94-01 Integra DC front sway bar to fit, you will also need the Integra front sway bar endlinks. If you go with the EG front sway bar and need endlinks, just order the Energy Suspension kit. It's a lot cheaper than buying the oem endlinks and bushings are stiffer.

You're better off piecing the front and sway bars together than going to the dealership for it. Front ITR bar is the same as GSR, 24mm. Look on ebay, honda-acura.net, honda-tech.com, etc.
