Does anyone know if its possible to run 92-95 civic bars? I found that the 92-95 civic VX has a 19mm sway bar in the front.

Yes. You really don't need a sway bar if you only drive in a straight line. but maybe he drives his on the street occasionally. He would need at least a small sway bar to keep it driveable.

My VX, as well as other VXs from the factory, did not come with a front sway bar.

92-95 Civic Si/EX/LX came with 21mm bars, which will fit.

I don't see why you're so worried about getting the smallest one. Get A sway bar and work from there.

If you're worried about the front one being too big, just get a rear sway bar anyway to compensate. You'll really enjoy how the car drives.

If you are looking to decrease understeer, why don't you just add on the rear sway from the 99-00 Si?

Because it's a 13mm bar and it's tiny ... he wants a small FRONT bar.

there was an 18mm made for some JDM cars, but nothing that I can track down at the moment.
unless you're running a tight parkinglot track the 24 or 21 will be your best bet.

note:
EK SI = 26mm
ITR & a lot of tegs = 24mm

Ok so I found out that 92-95 civic VX's have a 19mm front sway bar.

So my next question is will a 92-95 civic VX front sway bar work on a 97 civic?

the VX never came with a front sway bar.
I own a 92 and work on a 94 & 95 for friends. not a one of them had a front or rear sway bar.
the honda parts list also confirms this.
