Default What size sway bar for my setup?

Hey guys, Here is my suspension setup:

2000 DX Hatchback
Function / Form Type 1 Coils
Function 7 rear LCA's
ASR Subframe Brace
Also have wicked tuning front and rear camber kit.
15x7 +40 wheels
195-50-R15 Tires

I have laying around an SiR oem front and rear sway which i was just going to throw on to save some cash, but i read that you cannot use the oem SiR 13mm bar with the ASR Brace. Is this true?

If so, what size bar should i buy for the rear if i have to buy a new one? 22mm? 24mm?
Also, how does the size in the front relatge to the back? ie. If im using 24mm in the back, what size to use in the front? Thanks for the help.

I am building this car for cruising in the summer and once built will be taking it to the road course every other week when the local track holds time attacks.

Yes you can use the 13mm bar on a ASR, however, it isnt as easy to put on, as a 22mm and up would be.
There was a thread recently that he was able to use D-brackets from a Mazda and just open up the holes a bit. Ill see if i can find the thread.

I would still get a CTR 22mm, I have Si sway bars on mine, and i will be upgrading to the CTR bar shortly.
