No. The ITR is a totally different design. If you bought them, you would also have to buy different rear shocks as well. The GSR's are the same as the 92-95 Civics, but they have a hole in them for the swaybar.

Well in the case of rear sway bars... "too big" usually will induce MORE oversteer. So yes, an ITR rear swaybar will give you more oversteer on your EH2, than before. And in the case of it being "too big." I would generally say you're ok with it. But it depends on your current suspension set-up. (spring rates, chassis reinforcement, front swaybar, etc.) A lot of people have EH2's and just have a rear ITR swaybar, and no front swaybar, and they seem to like how their car responds.

You have a good chance of ripping that thin sub-frame out if you push your car. So investing in a good reinforcement kit is a good idea: BSQ or Beaks.
