What's wrong with the one you have? It's 26mm.

You could put a 24mm front on it, if you wanted to.

But you'd have to switch the lower control arms, shock forks, and endlinks out.

yeah I guess I'll have to swap out the front lca's for ex ones. the reason for this is that I already have a asr 24mm SB kit for the rear and I want to even out the car with the same size in the front or at least a little smaller i'm shooting for a neutral balanced car or a little oversteer 26 in the front will give me more of a understeer characteristic. Thanks for the feedback.

Then get stiffer springs in the back.

Same size != same handling dynamics. A neutral suspension won't have the exact same sized parts front and rear.

If for some reason u switch all those parts I'd be intrested in buying the forks
Also I just swapped the k member and rack, hubs ect... In my 96 ex to 99 GSR stuff and that was a huge upgrade to me , my turning radius is noticably tighter and it feels like it rides smoother too I recommend it to all ek owners and on top of it all I don't need to find a 99/2000 Si Tbracket to dump my typeR swap in!!!!!!!
I also have a Type R swap to let go!!!!
