I think this is for the non ITR cars.. the rear subframe is different so those reinforcement pieces wont fit on an R.. however you could still get it to fit I'd think.. as long as the two bolt holes are at the same spot/distance front another.. they should be since it uses one stock bracket location and one abs bolt hole I believe.

besides Mugen? Personally I'd stick with a 22mm bar and make up for it with spring rates.. but that's just me...

Yes it's discontinued and they(GC) told me that it wouldn't work with the ITR anyway. The Mugen bar is nice but pricey.
http://www.randdmotorsports.com/ has a good price on the JDM bar but my buddy Todd00 was quick to point out the 1MM difference wasn't that noticable.

Anyone have any thoughts about other aftermarket options. There always higher spring rates for the rear... which are on order. Upper tie bar helps too. Thoughts?

higher spring rates and you may have to also upgrade the shocks to handle the spring rate.
Just say this because I run 400 GC in the rear and from post a while back that Konis may need to be revalved past 400 to be able to make any adjustments or for the adjustment to the shock to make a difference.
And if the car is a daily driver it makes the the ride on the streets horrible considering most street are not in very good shape.

I figured an adjustable sway bar could be adjusted easily between the street and track, or maybe not?
