Default Sway bars: OEM or Aftermarket?

What are the opinions on the best sway bar for a DC2?

obviously the one that works best with your suspension to give you handling that suits your taste

It really does depend on the rest of your set up and what you prefer as a driver. I am currently running the JDM 23mm rear bar with the stock front bar and this balances nicely with the rest of my suspension. I know lots of other people that use a combination of the larger Mugen bars.

You really need to look at it from a wider perspective and not just a single piece of equipment at a time.

In addition to some description of the intended use of your car.

There is never a catch-all solution that works well for everyone.

Definately having an understanding of the limits of your car is important...going to a larger bar can cause a dangerous driving condition if you are not careful.

Well here's the deal. I took a stripped down 99 GSR, cut it in half, and clipped it with a 98 JDM ITR clip. The front sway is stock. My concern is, the rear is a stock GSR. I've got Apexi WS coilovers (thanks Area51), and every bushing that Energy makes. I was wondering if I should match the front with the rear, or go aftermarket. I don't really have big plans for the car as far as auto cross, but I'd like it to handle pretty good.
