I was wondering if sway bars can go bad? I'm looking to buy a used 03 type R sway bar and I'm wondering if it'll be as good as a brand new one? thanks!

I just want to make sure so I don't make an offer to high

 

If it fits perfect with no rust it's as good as new.

 

The way they curve pretty much elimates cracking.


I suggest the Tanabe. 28mm

 

why would you buy a used one when a new one is like 100

not good to have such a big front bar. give alot of understeer.

 

The front OEM is bigger than the rear OEM. The front has to stop a lot more weight from rolling. With an upgraded rear (22mm), understeer is back to stock feeling (with a lot less roll). And that's what an alignment is for anyways...

 

that is a rear sway bar and i needed a front sway bar and with shipping it came out to 155, and i got a two year old one for 86bucks

 

How about a civic ex front sway? It's 24.5 mm I believe. Oh it's $45 brand new. It should clear your ITR header cause it can clear my BCRH.

 

I already bought the CTR one and this is how it goes....

- civic ex 01-02 = 25.4mm (this is the one you want)
- civic ex 03-05 = 16mm

- ITR front sway will not fit unless you have the ITR control arms, b/c the ITR's are wider then our USDM Type S's

- CTR's are the same width as our USDM Type S's so the Front sway bar is interchangeable with our cars


So if you need to buy a front sway bar for your RH or ITR header and you have the USDM control arms, buy the 01-02 civic ex or the CTR front sway bar

and if you're baller and have the aluminum ITR control arms then you can put the ITR front sway bar on
