more trouble than it is worth. to use the ctr front sway you have to get the ctr front lower control arms and it is only 1mm smaller than the type s bar that fits with no other modification. the type s bar is 3mm smaller than the si front sway bar.

yes it is smaller and smaller on the front is better. it lets the front bite while the stiff rear makes the rear rotate. most folks see no need to change the front. its up to you.

another option, neuspeed sells poly. front sway bushings for $15 would tighten it up a little, along w/the type-s front sway would be a good upgrade w/o spending on the JDM control arms ($450) but they are forged aluminum instead of steel and they're lighter

A smaller bar on the front will allow the rear to rotate, but it may also let the outside front wheel bottom out because it allows more roll. The sudden increase in stiffness on that wheel can cause a loss of traction and understeer. It would be better to get a bigger rear bar instead of a smaller front.

it would be in conjunction with the larger rear bar ;)
