Ok I search but only found a buch of FS threads. I just purchased a 01 ITR rear Sway bar.
My 1st question is what is the size of it i know its 22,23,or 24mm, and how much of a difference will it make when I put it on my em1?

22mm....

I dunno about the difference it will make, but I am sure you'll feel it.

 

you will notice a difference but my buddy put a itr sway on his SIR and he noticed a hug difference but one day while he was turning he cracked the frame on the SIR so be carfull

 

Assuming its a usdm itr bar, its 22mm. Jdm (98+ i believe) is 23mm.

With that size bar, yes you will want to be very careful as the ITR and CTR subframes are reinforced to handle the large diameter sway bar- the rest of us arent. Getting subframe reinforcement is HIGHLY recommeded via ASR or Comptech braces. I cant speak for the comptech personally as ive never used it (but have heard many praises) though the fit/finish on the ASR is top notch, im installing mine this wekend.

You will also notice a huge difference in the feel of the car. It will be more stable and much more willing to rotate in corners, much more balanced than the 26/13 setup thats the SI stock
