Default Who makes the largest sway bars??

I am in the market for a new sway bar for my civic. The largest rear diameter I can find is a 24mm (Cusco Bar) followed by 22mm (Comtech & Progress).

Anyone know of a larger than 24mm rear sway bar??

BTW: Did search prior to posting. Didn't see much.

Thanks guys

I don't necessarily want the largest I can find, I'm really just doing my homework and comparing differant companies. As of now, I am most inpressed with the Comptech with lower tie combo(22mm). Is anyone running this set up?? If so, what do you think?

Do you know who makes the 42mm?

Have you taken into consideration what you can do to your subframe?

thats why you need this http://www.a-spec-racing.com/product2.php read this whole thread about the above ASR reinforcement kit here https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=1

this is engineered to be MUCH stronger then the beaks kit

ASR has a hollow 32" bar too

I don't think you need anything that big. I have the ASR 32mm hollow sway bar & reinforcement plate setup on my hatch, and i am lovin it

read that thread about the A spec Racing stuff, then come back if you still ahve some questions.

Too stiff of swaybars will cause your inside tires to lift off the ground in a corner. Bigger is not better.

I like the Progress swaybars.

Do you have a need for a car that is oriented toward oversteer at the limit?

Do you autocross?

Are you running a stiff shock and spring combo???

I have the comptech sway/tie combo. Best thing I ever bought for the car. I think I had more satisfaction from that than when I put in my super charger.
