Looking to get a itr rear sway bar for my 96 dc2. I'm looking at passwordjdm's itr 22mm and 23mm. Which one is recommend and which is more stiff? The 23mm is 20 dollars and is it worth it? thanks.

 

I believe the 23mm is the JDM ITR, and its obvious that would be stiffer. I believe you'd need different bushings?

 

Remember, thicker and stiffer is not always better.

If you have an unbalanced rear end, oversteer is going to become your best friend.

If you have a fairly built-up front end to accompany the 23mm, than go for it. If not, stick with the 22.

 

Ok thanx, i'll guess I'll go with 22mm. !

 

just so you know, that sway bar is only 60 bucks from acuraparts247.com

 

searched that site for type r parts and so far nothing.

 

??? on the front page, on the right side there is a search method that says "search by vehicle" or something with a radio button for either parts or accessories. pick parts and integra, then the year, then the type-r trim level, then on the next screen click "view all" or something along those lines.

search here on h-t for the member BSQ, and in his profile he's got a link to his page that has the whole how-to on the itr swaybar, including part #s to order

 

it ends up being 120 in the end...60 bucks for sway bar...then 50-60 bucks for all the bushings/bolts, and then 20+ for BSQ/beaks kit

 

how much does this help?

 

22mm is what I have and chose over the 23mm. I figured if the rest of my suspension wasn't up to par and couldn't handle the extra stiffness in the rear, why get it and have the possibility of tear out. I have blown stock shocks, sportlines, and a stock front setup and I was just worried about the 23mm being a little too stiff. Also, the japanese integra type r's have a 1mm thicker front sway as well to go along with the 23mm rear. So I think 24mm front and 22mm rear pair up nicely on a stock/near stock suspension setup to get closer to neutral characteristics.

 

i got mine from acuraparts247 for 90 shipped with bushings and all. I put it on last week with the BSQ kit and it fit great. Now i just have to get the car running to give a driving review

 

Either one will be fine

The 23mm is going to be 19.5% stiffer than the 22mm bar. IMHO, most drivers really won't be able to tell the difference between the to bars.

If you're talking about an ITR bar over an OEM bar, then the 22mm bar is going to be about 6X stiffer than say a stock 14mm bar.

 

isn't the stock bar 12mm?

It's 14mm in the rear for 94+ integras excluding type r.

 

And the Type R just bolts right up to an Ls? If so good deal. I'll have to order one in a week or two.

There more than just bolting it on. You'll need to purchase some bushings and brackets as well as a subframe kit. I highly recommend you go to BSQ's site: http://geocities.com/bretq/swaybar_install.html

 

Just out of curiousity....is there another bar that serves the same purpose (intensity) that bolts right up?

 

Yahh the Comptech Swaybar/ tie bar combo, but it's loot!! $350 cheapest
