Default attn: COMPTECH tie bar question

I have purchased a used Comptech tie bar w/ 99-00 Civic Si 13mm rear sway bar + SI endlinks.. which improved my handling alot.. right now I'm trying to figure out if I should plan on upgrading to a thicker sway bar but, I dunno if I'd need to since my suspension is pretty stiff already.. (Omni Power Coilover kit SPORT 12k front/ 10k rear).

I'm debating on these for an upgrade.. so which one would you guys get?

- ITR rear sway bar 22mm
- Blox rear sway bar 21mm

my current setup..


thanks-

Its really up to you...

Every person have a different feeling of happiness with their car.

Some people like all stock ITR springs/shocks for auto-xing.

Some like a rock hard suspension...

Its up to you. I went with a thicker 22mm bar because the SI was not working for me. I kept loosing traction in the rear on hard turns...

Now with the si sway up front and the 22 in the back, 11k front, 7 k rear, I'm pretty happy with everything. Its like a neutral feel.

So, do you think you need something bigger???
