that wouldn't cause oversteer? for a JDM one with the bushings and brackets it would be like 60 bucks more than oem usdm ones. I might be too lazy to get the jdm one.

Its something like a 14% increase in stiffness (IIRC, for the rear). If you're using all OEM suspension then the only one I'd consider or get is the OEM JDM rear anti-roll bar. I'd never get the front one. </TD></TR></TABLE>

arn't all the front ones the same size? If I'm not misstaken only 98+ itr rear is 23mm in japan.

Having owned (and tracked) the 22mm, 23mm and now the 26mm...

the 23mm defintely makes a difference. Though it's only 1mm, it's (insert the correct percentage here) stiffer and thus helps the car rotate more. If this is just a street car, then I wouldn't worry to much, however if you AutoX or track it, it might be worth your time. Then sell the 22mm and the 23 will only cost your $60.
