Default Rear Swaybar

I tried searching but couldn't find anything. The only thing I found was this https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1174419&page=1

I'm thinking about picking up a Cusco 25mm or a ASR 32mm rear swaybar but was wondering what everyone else here is running on their caR and how they like it. I'd love to get the Mugen 26mm but I can't find one and even if I did, it'd be way too much.

well like that post stated, get the bar for what you want to do...how much oversteer do you want in your ITR?

when i had my itr, the stock bar was pretty good for my daily driving...i was thinking about getting the 23mm jdm counterpart and testing that out...

I'm not sure what to recommend as I don't really have any experience. But i'm sure it would help to know what suspension your running.

And, IMO just use what you have and go from there. Get use to your car first and make changes according to your driving style and prefrences.

For anything that is going to see street duty, I advise either stay away from big rear bars or make damn sure you can adjust the oversteer out. With my Mugen 26mm asb and my Lowdowns set to 3f/1r the *** would step out with medium/moderate cornering on the street.

Not sure that would be wise for DD duty either.... but what do I know. I am old and have a new found fear of death.

Thanks. Thats exactly the type of response I'm looking for. Are you running a stock ITR front sway bar?

Downgrade your front swaybar to an HX. Dont knock disconnecting the front sway bar until you try it. If you dont like it, hook it back up. That way, you just invest time, not money. Mine is completely removed. It is bearable on the street and perfect on the track. I didnt spend a dime on these high dollar swaybars.

You also said "track warrior" somewhere around here too. This is an excellent solution.

I thought that was only on Traction bars? This thread is on Sway bars, it's OK. Post away.

My car is DD / AX. I have stock springs, Koni Sports, 15x7 +45 rims, 205/50-15 RT-615's and Cusco 25 mm rear bar. With 37/34 psi, balance is just like stock (which is what I was looking for). There is noticeably less body roll than stock. Hope that helps...
