Default Swaybar question for 96-00 EK Sedan

I'm planning to get the ASR brace with swaybar kit. However, which sway bar is better, the 22mm ITR or CTR? I see many kits just sell with the ITR.

Also, is there any need to get adjustable endlinks? or just keep the OEM ones that come with the kits. What's the purpose with going with the adjustable?

Thanks.

Ive heard that the ITR and CTR bars are slightly different dimensionally, but I dont know in what way. There was a guy on here a while ago who i tried to PM to see if he could get me measurements but no such.
Depending on the severity of the difference between the two bars there may or may not be an appreciable disparity in stiffness.

As far as better? No clue. Most kits come with the ITR bar because the ITR was a US market car, and so the pars were available stateside without having to import them.

Adjustale endlinks are a good idea but not necessary, since they allow you to change the endlink length in order to keep the bar arm parallel to the ground

the JDM CTR is 22mm. The USDM ITR is 22mm which most kits come with. The JDM ITR is 23mm.

I thought getting some adjustable endlinks like the Blox would just be beefier than the OEM, and also add the adjustability. Thoughts?
