92-00 civic ex has 22mm front sway.

I think that 92-00 civic lx also has 22mm front sway.

92-95 civic si had 22mm front sway

99-00 si had 26mm front sway, 13mm rear sway

No 96-00 civic (except si) had a rear sway. I believe the same is also true for 92-95.

This is great general info, and I'm sure most of it IS right. But I just removed and measured the OEM swaybar from my '89 Civic Si, and while I've read elsewhere that 15 mm is the diameter on the 4th gen Si models, mine reads 0.52" with my micrometer, which is like 13.2 mm, so I'm thinking my car somehow got the non-Si bar . . .

I suppose it's possible they threw the base model bar on there by mistake, or maybe they just ran out of the correct, larger Si bar that day in the factory, but that seems really odd for Honda.

Pitch it, under steer is a bad thing. Get an traction bar instead and a ITR rear sway.
