I ran with the front bar off the 1st half of the ARRC weekend and I really didn't like it at all. With the stock front bar on, the car felt better for me, but there is noticeably less front end bite.

AFIAK, the GSR has a 24mm front bar. What are my options for a smaller bar?

Thanks ....

 

RS/LS = 21mm, thats what I've got on the car now, with the 32mm rear.

 

spring rates? you should be stiff enough to realize its not there when you take it off..

 

800/1200. Stock front bar, 26mm rear.

With 800/1000 on my car I really noticed that it was gone when I disconnected it. I also had the small (22mm) rear bar on - but without the front bar there just wasnt enough front roll stiffness to keep the car off the bumpstops on the bumpy bits of summit. Its back on, with the 32mm rear bar, 850# f, 700# rears.

Hum.. I do have that issue as well, but its not an easy fix. If I put the front bar on, it will make that inner tire spin more..

Damnit, I'll just buy a Kaaz someday..

aside from the LS bar RJ mentioned, you can use the 92-95 Civic front bar.. I have this with my 12k/8k and Whiteline Adjustable rear bar on it.. I like it so far.. I ran without a front bar at all for awhile with the OEM rear and I didn't care for that as much..

 

nebermind, learned something new.

RS/LS = 22mm
92-95 Civic EX/Si front bar = 21mm

[shameless plug]I've got a 22mm LS front swaybar I'm looking to sell.

 

The RS/LS is a 21mm

Yep, what RJ said......21mm on my car too....

 

Really? I've always seen 22.1mm as the spec on it. I'm pretty sure it actually says that in my Integra brochure.

LS/RS is 22mm (Honda part # 51300-SR3-N02)
See here:

Technically the LS came with either the 22mm front swaybar or 24mm front swaybar, depending on which year LS you're talking about. Beginning in '99, Honda started outfitting the LS with the 24mm front swaybar (Honda part # 51300-ST7-003, same as the GSR/ITR).

92-95 Civic Si and EX (I can't remember if the LX received one or not) had the 21mm front swaybar.

 

I just got an LS bar and it is awaiting install. How do you guys like it over the GSR or no bar?

Other than the LS, King sells the 18mm Mugen bar but it's $300.

 

Well I had no idea.

Time to get my hands on one of them 21mm bars....

I can confirm that a 98 LS came with a 22mm front bar. Measured it with a caliper.
