Sway Bar questions
I searched and came up with very little info about sway bars for the Accord.
I was wondering if other models such as a civic from the same year will bolt up to the cb7.
I was wondering if anyone has info about what size sway bar to get for the front and rear?

AFAIK, one of the Acura rear ARBs will fit (I could be wrong about that), or the ARB from the CD5.
The stock CB7 rear ARB is 14mm diameter (at least on Aussie delivered cars), the CD5 is (I think ) 15mm. The Acura rear ARB might be 17mm (?), just what I've heard...
The stock front ARB is fine. You don't want to change it for a stiffer one as this will increase understeer (I've actually removed the front RB on my CB7 = less understeer for hardly any noticable increase in roll motion).
Aftermarket rear ARBs seem to start at 18mm, 19mm, and some thicker into the low 20s, but these thicker units are most probably too stiff for comfortable road use (i.e. more suited to racing purposes).
