Default swaybar choices

Just got my asr subframe installed and was thinking about swaybar combinations I wanted to install.

Wanted to get peoples opinion on the ride quality and cornering on the jdm itr sway bar and asr sway bar.

I was thinking i might get the front and rear jdm itr sway bars or just the asr, maybe the front itr sway bar and asr rear sway bar for my del sol.

A cold rolled steel bar is a cold rolled steel bar. Until you get into adjustable end links you're not going to see any real difference in "comfort"

Rear spring rates will do a lot more to ruin your cars daily driving comfort than a swaybar will.

Your car isn't going to be less comfortable switching from a 22mm to a 24mm rear swaybar.

^^^Truth, "as is tradition."

RE: Front Sway Bar Choice

Front ITR Swaybar = SAME AS GSR Sway Bar...which is 24mm, this bar can be found for next to nothing.

If your feeling froggy you can pay for the front 98spec ITR 25mm bar, and it won't make a difference in the world...that will cost you $100 used plus shipping. For something that minimal... The 98 spec ITR also made a 23mm rear sway bar, and it won't make a difference either, and that runs like $160 shipped.

Eibach makes a 26mm front bar, if you like red.

*don't forget you'll need endlinks for either/or sir....

My Vote, GSR front sway bar & USDM ITR rear 22mm sway bar...dont buy into the mega jdm stuff unless you feel like spending an extra $150.

If you've got a civic that didn't come with a front swaybar you'll need to get front lower LCAs that accommodate end-links.
