I recently bought a CTR rear swaybar from a nationally reputable shop. However, I have reason to believe it may be a cheap knockoff that they pawned off as an OEM CTR rear swaybar.
BUT BEFORE I POINT THE DIRTY FINGER...

Could anyone describe the markings of an OEM CTR rear swaybar??? If you have a digital picture that would be great. If not , a simple description of any identifying markers would do...spraypaint marks, part numbers, included hardware descriptions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time,
Alex

 

same as ep3 stock sway bar but thicker
22mm.
ep3 stock rear sway bar is 15mm
just measure it

 

The measurement approach is a good first step, but still doesn't give me the info I need. See, I think the bar I bought is a 22mm bar that looks like Honda OEM, but is coming out of some shop in Taiwan or China. Here's why:

1) the bushings don't look like the right shape
2) there was no four digit code spraypainted on the bar designating which model it corresponds to
3 the spraypaint color used on the bar isn't consistent with what I've heard so far

I'll post some pics today to give a better idea of what I'm talking about...

 

Sorry, I just double-checked, the spray paint marking should be pinkish.
