Default 26mm front sway bar

does anyone know what, if any honda/acura models came with a 26mm front sway bar, that would bolt up to an eg.

I thought it was the jdm dc2's but I think those are actually 25mm.

I'd stick with your stock front sway and concentrate on beefing up the rear, IMO

i've got a JDM ITR '98 spec 23mm swaybar in the back with an ASR subframe brace in the back just lookin to beef up the front sway (stock 21mm), im sure the extra 5mm will make a huge difference actually.

What are you trying to accomplish by changing sway bars?

You don't, under any circumstances, want to use a 26mm front bar on any double-wishbone Civic. Especially with an open differential. The inside wheelspin with the stock 26mm front bar on my 2000 Civic Si was horrible.

My testing has shown me that the stock 21mm front bar is the best front sway bar for a '92-95 Civic.

i use to run a jdm itr front with an open diff, and the wheelspin was terrible until i got my kaaz diff and it solved that, but jesus i couldn't imagine a 26mm, besides bigger is not always better, you have to get a feal for the car and figure out your driving style and do some trial and error everyone drives different, you just have to get a feel for the car and mosdef stay away from a 26mm like targa250r said.
