Default Size difference between DC2R and EK9R rear sway bars

I need to know if there is a dimensional difference between the two sways. Diameter of the EK9 would be nice, but I'm more looking for how long (side to side) and how wide (front to back) they are -- more specifically, if the EK9 bar is a couple inches narrower from side to side.

I had the 23mm DC2r on my last car, but it won't work with my current suspension setup. As a result, I'm looking for something about an inch narrower on each side.

I agree, the u.s. spec is 22mm for the ITR, 23mm for the jdm.

I'm more concerned with the dimensions of length/width. Diameter is a non-issue with me. I know they have a different design, but I'm wondering if the actual dimensions are different.

Where are you bolting up the endlinks to? why do you need a shorter sway bar?

I have external reservoir coilovers and the reservoir exits the bottom of the shock. it interferes with where the type r sway would cross over, so if it were an inch shorter on each side, i'd be fine.
