What kind of car do you have?

Are you talking about the 99-00 si? sway bar is 26mm and they run their own lca's and shock forks.

From what I see most people say run your car as stock as possible at first, and then go from there.

You should already have a 22mm up front, so mabe throw a si sway in back or something.

Im not familiar with blox suspension. My car is a street car that I use for amateur road racing... I run 550R and 450F spring rates. I recently removed my stock sway bars because they were in the way when doing other work. I then went to the track without putting them back on... And ran a best personal time, go figure. I think at our level, sway bars do little unless you have rather soft suspension. I would focus on brakes, tires and skills at this point.

Im sure there is a dfference, how much of a difference I can't answer.
Personaly id start with something smaller, a 99-00 si. Remember the bigger the rear bar the more oversteer you will have.
You will also want to get an asr if you do opt with the ctr rear bar.
