Re: sway bars
it all depends on what you are trying to do man.
FWD cars tend to understeer more often than not, and having a bigger sway bar in the rear, and a stock size, or smaller size in front will help in handling (reduced understeer) and easier turn of the front wheels while still keeping traction.
I just got my ASR 24mm rear sway bar and rear subframe connector they will be installed next weekend when I have time off from work. I heard its one of the best sway bars you can get from several friends that have EG's in SCCA. However I will determine if it is really that good after it is installed and tested out on the road
Hope that helps you a little bit, I have heard that suspension techniques and oem type R's work well but they are not as big as the 24mm bar that ASR has. I believe oem type r is like 15mm and the st is like 18mm.

Re: sway bars
Correct info.
Personally I would first get the ITR (front/rear), which will allready be a huge diff, and then upgrade the rear to something thicker like the ASR 24mm, so you can experience the diff and have a choice.
OEM ITR is 24/22(23 JDM).
ST is 'thinner' bùt made of stronger material ànd it is mounted on the end of the rear LCA's instead of OEM in the middle.
The end mounting reduces required swaybar strength (thickness/material) to obtain same swaybar control force as OEM, while at the same time being more precise due to more swaybar movement for the same wheel movement compared to OEM.
