Default Sway bars

I been on this crv forum for many years on and off but I've never really seen anyone talk about sway bars. I just looked up some information earlier this morning and found that crv sway bars are 12-13mm. I looked on eBay and found an aftermarket one by ultra that is 19mm. On another forum I've read that some folks installed itr ones 22-23mm by relocating the brackets. Any inputs ht?

Addco makes one, it's 19mm I believe. Same diameter as Ultra, and about $100 less expensive.

I'd be interested to see more about the ITR bar, but worry a bit about subframe tearing like on civics and non-R integras.

I got the one from summit and although it's significantly thicker, it is not a direct fit.
The bracket holes did not line up right, and the bar itself was rubbing on the rear subframe. Required some moving and welding. :/

That's odd, considering they sell it as a direct bolt on.

Hopefully more info comes up on this. I would really like a hefty swaybar on the rear of my crv.
