Default Sway Bers?

I have a 92 Integra. I was looking at sway bars, im trying to figure out who makes the biggest one.
What is the thickness of the stock ones?
I was looking at Eibach, Skunk 2, Suspension Techniques, Comptech. Any other good ones?
None of these seem to be much bigger than the stcok ones, who makes thicker sway bars?

ST bars are real nice, I was happy with mine I had on my GSR.

ITR ones would be a good upgrade (with the BSQ mount kit)

EDIT: Hmm 92??? Sorry I was thinking a Gen3...

progress makes a 22mm rear sway bar but requires modification. the st rear sway bar is 19mm and is a direct bolt on. the itr rear bar can also be retrofitted, but also requires modifications.

I've got the ST rear bar and it is more than adequate for my car. It actually will oversteer more than I would like it too sometimes. I hear everyone here saying get the R bar but I like the ST bar just fine and no tear out and special kit required. Just have to turn your rear struts around at the bottom ( don't have to remove the struts ) to mount them. I've seen pics of some big *** bars that make all kinds of curves but doubt they work as good as mine. This bar is pretty straight and mounts out wide to the strut instead of the control arm some do.

I have the ST rear bar in my 90 LS. It's great, I still have stock springs and shocks but body roll is really reduced. I was thinking of getting the progress bar but I've heard the install is a bitch and when I get springs I'll just go stiffer in the rear to tune the hanlding characteristics of the car. I know people that have used the progress rear bar and the ST front and are pretty happy. I'd suggest just getting the ST rear though. I've very happy, it's cheap, and it's super easy to install.

PS- if you do get it and have any questions about the install, throw me an email

I went to ST web sight at http://www.stracing.com/
All I did was fill out an entry form for a contest, I couldn't find out any more info about what they make.
So for the ITR rear bar you have to make a lot of modifications. I know Mugen makes a 26mm rear for the type R does any other companies make anything that big for the rear?

Isn't drilling required for the ST bar?

well, yes, the only drilling required though is in the frame where you just have to round out the existing top holes a little for the vertical brackets to be completely vertical.. nothing much to it though. don't have to drill new holes or anything...and about the struts, you can turn the struts around at the bottom and we just took some vice grips and twisted the springs around afterwards. I hope you get it and let us know what you think...This is the best mod you can make for handling.

I was looking at a Type R that was fixed up by King motor sports, it had a 21mm in front and a 26mm in the rear.
Thats seems to be the oposite of all the other aftermarket set ups.

No, for the gen2 ST sway bar, there is now drilling required. You don't have to turn the struts around or anything like that. You just take off the endlinks from the control arms, and the D-brackets, sway everything over to the ST bar with the new bushings and bolt everything back on. So easy, it should be illegal.
