Jdm ITR is 23mm. The USDM is 22mm. I'd get the ITR personally, if you get the 23 I'd invest in the asr bracket, but if you just get the USDM, the beaks or bsq kit will suffice. USDM is $80 and the beaks kit is $75. Bsq kit is $20.

lol dude have you seen the difference between the ASR brace and the beaks kit?

You can use a beaks kit with a 22mm bar or a 23mm bar if you never plan on driving the car hard. The beaks kit should really only be used up to like 19mm or so.

It will bolt on, but you need a subframe reinforcement kit.

heres a pick of a itr sway bar with a ASR brace and omni control arms on my ride. the endlinks didn't match up perfectly but a little bit'o bending did the key. or the correct way to go would be after market end links. also, the lca's dont have threads so you have to go and buy your own bolds and "nuts" to put them on. if you do that i highly recommend you buy nice bolts and learn how bolts, washers, lock washers, and nylon nuts work and fit. because you do not want one of those things snapping or comming off when your doing 100 around a corner.

Yes, yes I have. Many people on this site have been using the beaks or bsq kit for a long time with zero issues. Integras have stronger subframes than civics, you'd need an asr for a civic. I have run the beaks kit and ITR 22mm on my integra hard for 2 years with no issues.

96-97 JDM ITR and 97-01 USDM ITR all used the 22mm rear sway bar. the 98-00 JDM ITR used the 23mm. Even if you track your car, the beaks or bsq kit will work fine. I've been using the BSQ kit with my 22mm ITR sway bar on my LS for years with plenty of track events and hard turns without a problem. the 92-95 Civic subframes are just as strong as integra subframes, its the 96-00 you have to worry about. Stiff spring rates will also help out a lot

suspension techniques also has a 19mm bar with relocated attachment points that should make it feel stiffer than a standard 19mm. basically they move the end links out to the shock bolts which reduces the leverage on the arm, you also get their version of a beaks kit all in one box for $129. it's a simple all in one package that really flattens out a basic 350-500 dollar shock and spring kit.
