Default What is your swaybar setup?

Just wondering, what bar do you use on front and rear? if you have the stock setup (19mm front, nothing in back) plz don't bother posting, thank you. I have a Si rear bar coming (15mm) and i'm wondering if i should take off the front one or keep it on when i get the rear one.

unless you have a 4dr sedan, or HF crx, your front swaybar is 18mm.

swaybars are to be considered with the whole suspension package. kind of useless to just say what swaybar you use.

i have a 4dr. look at sig.

yes, i know sway bars are only part of the whole suspension, still, i just want an answer to the question, if it helps i have cheapo coilovers that will be put on when they arrive (please hold the ranting about how shitty they are, i've already heard it)

The guy that had it before me auto x'd the crap out of it. It is more oversteer oriented which is the way I like it.

As for clearance, I'm turbo and have 3" exhaust all the way back and it clears fine.

whats everybodies opinion about DA sways... ls 24 or 25 i think, and 16 rear... on a crx? Any pos/negs on this? I noticed everybody is goin larger in the rear and smaller in the front, is this setup gonna exagerate the understeer? I'm using it as a daily driver and a weekend toy so its not gonna go thru any serious cornering.

Thanks,
~Chris

I went to the junkyard and got a 16mm rear DA sedan sway bar and it didn't fit It was about an inch and a half too short. So I'm running a rear CRX Si sway on my crx and soon to have a hf front sway.
