Default can i use ES 23mm front sway bar bushing for JDM ITR rear sway bars??

the front and rear sway bar bushings are made differently.

just reuse the 22mm rear bushings with the 23mm bar (I did and it worked ok).
apply some marine moly lube and inspect regularly.

As Willard stated, the oem 22mm bushings will work.

I reused my 22mm bushings on the 23mm JDM bar as well - works perfectly fine.

it's ok.. thanks for your help though. I went ahead and ordered the bushing from suspension.com

http://www.suspension.com/s.b.bushings.htm

energy suspension 23mm sway bar bushing (part # 9-5127).. hopefully that will work.. and cheaper than stock too..(if you include the d brackets)

I just called about those and they couldn't tell me if they work or not, I think those are for the Accord. So I tried a search here and came accross this thread. The D brackets measurement look pretty close. Any luck fitting them?

ES Part # 9-5127 (actually a mistake on the web site as 905127) works. I just installed it today with the 23mm sway bar on my GSR.

yes.. i used that exact bushing part for my car. The polyurethane bushing is very stiff.. almost feels like plastic.. but i guess it works.
