It seems as though all of the sites people recommended for CTR rear sway bars no longer work....
where do I find one??
I would like to buy one but I can not seem to find a working web site that sells them... Anything suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Btw the reason I am thinking of going for the CTR over the RSX or Progress, is that I have heard of so many people having exhaust problems. Does anyone know if a Greddy EVOII we be a problem with a CTR bar? Also I do not have to by new end links do I? Thanks in advance for your input!!

I have a progress and it does rub the stock muffler a bit but not hurting anything. I've heard the 24mm has no issues at all through.

As for endlinks you don't have to get new ones but the first problem you're gonna run into is the likely rust on the stock ones preventing you from getting them off easily. If you don't break or strip them in the attempt to get them off you might be ok but if you drive really hard they will prolly break. I used stock endlinks on my progress bar for a few months till one too many spin outs finally snapped them. Its worth the money not to deal with that kinda hassle.

I've been waiting for a CTR with Bushing from ICBmotorsports...they haven't had any for a couple of months now...and I'm still wondering if it would clear with the HKS Hi-power...Before the site crash, I remember people were saying that they had issues while others didn't...so I guess I have to get one and try it for myself...

The CTR rear sway bar is 22mm, the 05-06 rsx type-s sway bar is 21mm which is a lot easier to find. So if you can't find the CTR one, just settle for the type-s bar

If there is a bunch of immediate interest (I think there is) I will create a group buy.

u have to also note how low are u going to be lowering your car. I know my HKS always hits the CTR sway bar cause i'm so damn low.. but i know if i raised the car up a bit.. should clear.. i think! :-)

There were several web sites that people recommended back in 2004, like
http://www.polepositionproducts.com/jdmhonda/ep.htm
Hondawerx
http://www.ipsracing.com/
but none of these are working for me

If you do a simple search, most people said you could get one of these for $90-$100 dollars with the bushings......
this is what I'm looking for.....
If any one has info about this lemme know!

Thank you to those who have already provided information!!

Thank you to those who have already provided information!!I got mine from Hondawerx in 2004! From what I have been hearing, the price has increased to possibly $150. Some vendors are saying a month and a half lead time.
I bought mine back then for $125 shipped and that has always been about the same price. I have never seen it as low as $90 though. (maybe without shipping?)
I will know more later.

I emailed Pole position products and they said the ITR bar has a slightly different bend than the CTR bar, so it won't fit right. But both bars are $90 US on their website.
http://www.polepositionproducts.com/jdmhonda/ep.htm


FYI: The CTR rear anti-sway bar is supposed to be 22mm and can be had at poleposition.com for $90 USD.

Pole position......$90 ?????
I Know this was back in 2004.... but if we could get them for around $100 or so that we be awesome!!!
is this company still around?

After 5 months of searching, I bought the 21mm DC5 S rear bar. Put it on today, and I'm happy. 50 bucks with bushings. If you can find the CTR bar get it, if not, the 21mm bar feels pretty good.

Yeah, I'm still waiting on ICB, because they had the best price during that time and came with new bushing... all for $90 but now the price has gone up...

LOL,, why waste that much money on something you couldnt differentiate from a 05' typeS rear sway(for half the cost)?

I have had both and was lucky enough to find a chump to buy the CTR sway for what I paid.

by any chance, does anyone know if the rsx/integra type-r rear swaybar is the same as the CTR rear sway?

BobSassafrass

Should be exactly the same.

Does anyone know where to find energy suspension sway bar bushings? I looked around and couldn't find anything.

i bought the black sway bar bushings (the greasable ones with the nipple) and got them pretty damn quick. i'd buy from them again.

Awesome thanks, but I can't seem to find the 21mm rear sway ones. I want to get an 05 type s sway but I want energy suspension bushings.
