hi there... just wanna say wassup first... long time reader first time writer here at hondatech... i got a buddy that recently bought a JDM rear sway bar from icbmotorsports and we tried to replace his stock sway on his gsr... we tried doing the installation and the problem we ran into was that the stock gsr brackets that hold the bushings near the center of the sway do not fit due to them being a lot smaller in size (icbmotorsports didnt ship brackets with the sway)... we went to acura and purchased the us spec ITR brackets and they fit the bushings... the only problem is that the brackets didnt fit on the subframe... so the question is... how or what do we need to use, get or install on the subframe in order for the JDM ITR sway bar to fit onto his car? thanx in advance for the help guys... really appreciate it...

 

uhm, i think theres a kit you can get to install the sway bar.. BSQ kit?? not sure what it's called. also there's and article over at team-integra.net showing you how to put it on.

 

I think Beaks has a kit too.

 

Here is Beaks website:

and the

BSQ website:
http://www.geocities.com/bretq/

I'm using the BSQ kit myself

 

http://www.geocities.com/bretq has instructions on installing the 22mm bar and also explains what you need to do the swap

 

I used the BSQ kit. Instructions are on his website. Good luck.

 

sidenote: I thought JDM ITR rear sway bars were 23mm as opposed to the USDM 22mm?

 

i think the 99 and up were 23mm... not sure... but thanks for all the help guys...

is there a major diff in the 23 and 22? Its only a mm shouldn't matter much right?
