itr vs si
Ok I search but only found a buch of FS threads. I just purchased a 01 ITR rear Sway bar.
My 1st question is what is the size of it i know its 22,23,or 24mm, and how much of a difference will it make when I put it on my em1?

Re: itr vs si (Rev Red)
Assuming its a usdm itr bar, its 22mm. Jdm (98+ i believe) is 23mm.
With that size bar, yes you will want to be very careful as the ITR and CTR subframes are reinforced to handle the large diameter sway bar- the rest of us arent. Getting subframe reinforcement is HIGHLY recommeded via ASR or Comptech braces. I cant speak for the comptech personally as ive never used it (but have heard many praises) though the fit/finish on the ASR is top notch, im installing mine this wekend.
You will also notice a huge difference in the feel of the car. It will be more stable and much more willing to rotate in corners, much more balanced than the 26/13 setup thats the SI stock
