Default ITR vs SI Sway Bar question

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, and how much of a difference will it make when I put it on my em1?

You bought a sway bar but dont know what size it is?

US rear ITR sway is 22mm and I think Si is 13mm? At any rate the car will have less propensity to understeer.

You will DEFINTELY need to get some sort of subframe reinforcement on non-ITR application, Beaks kit etc.

I don't really recommend the Beaks' kit on Civics. It's better off getting the ASR reinforcement brace for Civics

Definitely, unless you want more problems.

I had a 22mm Sway on my old 00' Civic Si when I owned it. Difference is night and day (you will love it) but re-enforcement is a must
