Default are stock gsr rear sway bars even useful?

i was cleaning out my garage and was going to throw away my old stock gsr sway bar, since i have no use for it (after installing the itr). i've seen them for sale in the classifieds, but does anyone actually have a use for these? it seems as though this part wouldn't be of use to anyone wanting to swap out theirs/upgrading/etc. i'm sure that someone may want the brackets, so i'll save those, but should i just toss out the bar?

some civic owners use a smaller bar like the gsr's.

i would atleast try to sell it first before you toss it out. "someone elses junk, is someone elses treasure!"

Many Civics don't have rear swaybars, some don't even have any swaybars at all, like the DX coupe and the CX hatch.

I think only the 92-95 Si hatchback, the 99-00 Si Coupe, and maybe some sedan models had rear swaybars.

if i remember correctly, i believe the gsr swaybar is 2mm thicker than rs/ls/gs swaybars and i'm pretty sure the civics (non-si) are even smaller. so i would try to sell it. someone might want it.

Hang it from the ceiling and use it for pull-ups.

Yes only the Civic Si has had sway bars in the back, but I think all have one up front.

As for the rear sway bar, I might be interested as Ive been looking for one and dont want to pay alot.
