Default Which DC2/EG came with the 15mm rear sway bar?

I know that DC2/EG either came with a 13mm rear bar or a 15mm rear bar, with the exception to the DC2R, which is 22mm in the rear.

The front were either 21mm or 24mm(GSR and DC2R).

Thanks for any input.

I think the only EG that came with a rear sway was the ex sedan, which was 14 mm. DC2 LS had 22mm front and 14mm rear, and GSR had 24mm front and 14mm rear.

The EG that came with a rear sway was the Sedan EX as well as the Del Sol Si which actually have a 13mm rear bar (my bro has an EG sedan EX abs so I can attest to this).

The LX ABS sedan as well as the EX ABS coupe both come with the abs [EG/DC2] rear lower control arms, so they have provisions for sway bars on the control arms, however, they did not come with sway bars, they only needed the rear lcas for the abs lines.

The DC2 RS coupe, LS coupe, GS coupe all have 13mm rear bars.

The DC2 RS sedan, LS sedan, GS sedan and GSR sedan/coupe have 14mm rear bars.

I've just confirmed from a parts list that the only EG/DC2 with a 15mm rear bar is in fact the Del Sol DOHC vtec.

The DC2R has the 22mm rear bar.

Just out of curiousity, why do you want one? 13-15mm is downright worthless for a rear bar, you can twist those easily with your hands.

Just info to know, incase one wanted to see the effects of a rear sway bar with higher (600+) spring rates or whatnot.

I have a 94 coupe ex abs, so it has all the provisions for a rear sway, but did not come with one. I'll likely go with the ASR rear subframe brace along with either the ITR bar, or the 32mm hollow race bar. Perhaps I would swap in the 13mm-15mm rear bar during the winter when I go up to the snow.

Or, if you wanted less oversteer/more understeer, you could just run no rear bar. I mean, that's free
