Just installed 22mm CTR rear swaybar

[SiRman]

Just installed 22mm CTR rear swaybar, wow, this mod makes quite a difference for very little money. Makes a big difference in the cornering peformance since our stock rear sway is so small.
A&J Racing (http://www.aj-racing.com) just got a big shipment of them in, they also have lots of the Alex strut bars in stock now, which are my next planned upgrade.

I agree 100%, and I couldn't be more happy with mine :D
In the States Mike at www.ipsracing.com also has them in stock ;)

:) Vote Yeah not Ney for 22mm sway:)

[myeverlovinsir]

yep, got mine from PORT, think it is well worth it! I love the stability and handling alot more now.:D

When you guys switched to the CTR/ITR rear sway bar, did you leave the front EP3 bar?

I have Type S bars, front and rear (smaller in front, 19mm in rear), so I'm curious about whether you'd advise going back to the EP3 thicker bar in the front.

I'm thinking yes. :)

When you get them do they come with poly bushings or rubber?

Who're you talking to? If you mean the Type S bars, they will come with OEM rubber bushings.

I (for now) have stuck with the bigger stock sway bar in the front, and it feels fine. (for daily driving) :)
Hit up Yack, (as he has tracked his EP3 several times with the RSX sway bar on the front, and CTR on the rear) and I'm sure he'd be more then happy to fill your ears on the subject :D

Please, what kind of driving do you do? Any tracks or autocrossing?

I was wondering for any of the rear sway bars what kind of bushings they came with. The upgrade price for the rear swaybar is not bad at all. From what I have read I just have to make sure I do not install it upside down.

When I bought mine, it came with the bushings. The install is very simple, and straight forward. It took about 5 minutes (with a lift, and air tools). Here are a couple pic's..

IPA Racing and P1 Auto were both selling the ITR/CTR rear bar for $125.

i am sure it is insignificant when compared to the handling capabilities the bar will give the ep. shit, it can be 10 lbs heavier, pink, and autographed by kobe bryant's accuser and i will STILL put it on my car.;)

The bar came with the rubber bushings, since it is a OEM Honda part I asuume they are rubber. After a few days of driving, I can't believe the difference this upgrade makes, the rear end is much more solid now.
My car is a daily driver, but I push it pretty hard...daily.:D

Thought I'd add part #'s for anyone interested:

SwayBar: 52300-S5T-J01
which comes with 2) 52306-S6M-Z01 bushings

The weight difference is just a few pounds more, maybe 5-6. It is definitely a noticeable improvement in turning ability on the track.
