there was alot of info in the search I did but only a few comments on this upgrade.
my car is a daily driver and i like to take some corners at the limit will this flatten out the car even more than stock in your opinions? Can i just put this without messing with the front and get a flatter feel to the car. its all stock. thanks for all who reply. I just want to make my daily commute a little funner

 

noticed it for like 2 weeks then i got used to it...

kinda like a clutch with a slightly stiffer pedal feel

but a great and easy upgrade for the price

 

thanks!

 

I got a real good price on one brand new and sold my old one for the same
To tell you the truth i didnt feel much of a difference, but I did start entering corners a lot faster that I did with the stock one. It gave me more confidence.
I read somewhere that it is 19% stiffer than the stock piece if i remember correctly.
I say if you can get a good price on one($70-$80USD) go for it.
The install is very easy too just make sure you have the bushings and Dlinks

 

don't put polyurethane bushing on the sway bars. They might be stiffer.. but the squeaks every now n then makes the car sounds cheap. If i had a chance to do it over, i'd just put OEM bushings.

As far as urethane bushings go, just be sure to lube everything very well at the time of install.

 

I have the JDM rear bar (with the poly bushings) and really have liked it. It is a perfect suspension change for those wanting to make some minor tweaks to the handling characteristics and balance of the car. If your car's balance needs more than just some refinement go back and work on other parts of the suspension first (springs, dampers, alignment, etc.)

 

What thickness is the USDM stock rear bar?

Also (and not meaning to hijack this thread)...i have a set of mugen rear sway bar bushings for my car but havent fitted them yet as i was looking at the OE ones and theyre in perfect condition. Is there any point fitting them or should i just leave them till the OE ones need changing? (sorry again for the semi-jack)

OT: Does this upgrade bump you out of "stock D" class? It looks like changing out the front sway bar is okay, but the rear is not. However, since it's still OEM Integra part, would it still be kosher?

No, you cannot change to the JDM bar and remain in stock class...

 

uh oh, looks like some has a case of modifitis

Once you're not stock you can't stop
