Default EP3 and RSX front stabilizer bars

Does anyone know if the front stabilizer bars for the RSX and EP3 are interchangable (will one fit the other is what im asking)?

and does anyone know the sizes of the stock stabilizers for each car, preferably in millimeters?

Yes, they are interchangable. The RSX is 23mm and the Si is 25mm.

You're looking for the thicker EP3 bar? I one here in NoVA that somebody can just have if he wants to pick it up from me at work or something.

The reason they are available so much is that EP3 drivers take the DC5 Type S bars, front and rear, and swap them in.

This gives them a thinner front bar and a thicker rear bar, making it turn a little more quickly. Combined w/something like the Mugen Sport Suspension, it's a neat little change.

I'm about to switch to the Type R bar in the rear, so I'll also have a Type S rear bar available soon.

Just a brief caution to you guys working on the front bars, though: It's not nearly as easy as the rear bars. You might have to actually unbolt some of the exhaust to do the front bar.

This is supposed to be my daily driver. Hope I don't end up in the weeds somewhere.
