search. theres alot of aftermarket swaybars for itr. asr, comptech, mugen, suspension technique, progress, whiteline(probably), sanner, eibach, custom.
what are you doing with the car? what are your currant spring rates? do you feel the car needs more rotation on track or at the autocross?

i know whats out there in the meens of rear sway bars. but all of um oe like 10mm 20mm. i just see the itr being 23mm and for the price. it seems to be the best bang for the buck. and my rates are 10k/6k. and i'm not a big autoX fan. i'm more of a downhill and back road fan. so i'm running a 22mm in the from for a sway bar. i just wana know how many ppl run the itr and if they like um

My recommendation would be go with the Mugen 26mm rear swaybar. For best rotation, you should remove that front swaybar.

darwin says "why stop at no front with 26 when you can put a nail-gun to your head"

go do some autoX's or some driving schools and you will figure out everything that is wrong with backraod bombing

whoe whoe, whats up with the negitivity. deff not needed. try to keep this a good thing. like i said, i'm not one for the autoX. i'm more about the street and the nateral cerves of the road and the dips and learning the lay of the road. not going round and round in a parking lot trying to avoid cones.

so back to this sway bar issue. will this ITR sway bar be a good match to my driving needs. with a 22mm up front?

No dude. Ditch the front swaybar if you want the car to rotate.

The best part is dodging the on coming mini van with a family and a dog in the turn. I hate it when you can't get back in your lane, or you get all sideways in a turn, and your like "this is mad tight drifto" but then you cant recover and you smash into something, or roll down a hill. The best is when an animal runs out in front of you when your at 10/10 on a public road, or when the tire blows out, and you lose control and total your car.
The best part has to be playing the "will the insurance cover it after their investigation" game. Better yet, I like the "how many ounces of blood can I lose in 5 minutes" game!

If you don't like parking lots, go to the track.

im thinking if you remove the front bar and ad a huge rear bar.. yes the car will rotate but you might rotate yourself in to a tree.. especially if "back roads" and this brokeback touge adventure seems to be the direction your headed. so i think you should drive the crap out of your car at an autox or a track day as is and realize what you need to ad before you set your car up for something it might not need. i will tell you, i have a 19mm and no front and i can often times get the car to rotate when i dont want it too.. learn to drive the car first!
