Sway Bar Questions

[PinkMilk]

I cant find my Si manual what size are the stock front and rear bars? the type s just has a larger rear? the front is the same? wat about the regular rsx and the CTR.. thanks i know these questions probably been asked before.

[TEKBRAIN]

25.4 / 17.0

[Hatch, Si Hatch]

Our stock ones are 25mm front, 15mm rear. RSX is 23mm front, 19mm rear.

Edit: The ones TEKBRAIN posted are for the 04' Si, it has a larger rear sway

[Btrthnezr3]

CTR has a 22mm rear sway bar.

[VividDreams]

the RSX and RSX-S have the same size bars. i know for sure in the rear, and the front im almost positive. dont pay more for an RSX-S rear bar, its the same as the base model.

[KeNnYtAkEr]

For our car u just need to get the rear sway upgrade.

[PinkMilk]

i went to the dealer today they want 76$ for the rear bar.. rsx and the S are the same... bushings links etc are extra... do i need them? can i use my SI stock ones or no? something i also found funny was the red and silver intake manifold cover/engine cover was 79$ at honda and only 66$ at acura.

Just pay 20 more for the ctr sway bar.

Check ebay.
Ive see CTR sway bar for less than $100+ shipping.

[PinkMilk]

i looked on ebay and dont see any for sale and i dont even see any rsx ones for sale... only maybe on here or the rsx site... wat is a good price for the 19mm bar with bushings?? will my stock brackets and endlinks work? anyone have the rsx bar? is it worth upgrading to?

You need to stop asking questions. Do some searcing.
Good price for rsx sway bar with bushings=65-70 shipped for used
80 for new sway bar.
Stock endlinks will work.
Many people has rsx sway bar.
Yes, its worth it.

thanks 4 the good links.. 2 more questions before i head back to school.. the CTR front bar is larger too? i have never heard anyone talk about it. and 2nd i hear alot more about the rear strut bar for our cars usually u hear more about front strut bars.. ebay has rear strut bars for like 10bucks for the si but i havent found any front ones.. why is that? whats the cheapest one around and where to find it? thanks@@@~~!

[2fastcivic]

the front strut bar is alot harder to fit than the rear b/c of clearance issues. and no one talks about the fron ctr sway bar b/c it doesn't fit our cars. also b/c of clearance issues w/ i think the catalytic or downpipe. something like that.

[oldschoolimport]

the closest you can get to a FRONT type r sway bar, without buying the CTR aluminum lower control arms, is the type s front sway. it is 1 mm larger than the CTR bar. if I am correct the si has a 25mm, type s is 22mm and type r is 21mm.

that makes no sense bigger is suppsoed to be better why is it reversed there

[oldschoolimport]

smaller on the front to let the tires have more equal grip, bigger on the back to help the back rotate.

[97 TYPE-R 312]

USDM EP3: Front 25.4
Rear 15.0

RSX-S : Front 23.0

CTR/ITR : Front 22.0

Mugen R : Front 24.2
Rear 24.0/25.0

[Civicvtec1ps]
