Whats the size of stock swaybars?

[futureteg]

anyone know?

[HyperTek]

rear - ultra thin

[HaLo]

24 mm front
15 mm rear, 21 mm rear hicas

[Wei240]

there's also a 17mm rear sway bar (s13 jdm 89-90 hicas or something like that...)

[futureteg]

so i'm guessing uprading the front sway bar is not that much needed, since its pretty beefy as is

[JDMark]

the 89-90 usdm with sport package (front lip and stuff) had the 17mm rears and 25mm fronts. base model 89-90 is 24 front and 15 rear, 91-93 is 25 front and 15 rear for base but the 21mm rear for hicas.

beefy as it is, i'd say if you are really down for your 240, do it. If you look at the structural design of the sway, you'd see that aftermarket is better than stock. The closer it is to a straight line, the better. the Stock sway is bent in useless angles. ST sways are pretty beefy, and keeps things stiff. You'll notice it once you put it in.

yeah I know I'll notice it....i put a rear sway bar from a Type R on my integra GS....and it was a very nice improvemnt(12.9mm-->22mm)...very neutral handing.

Buy a nismo powerbrace too! MAKE SURE IT FITS! Mines is off by like, 1/8th of an inch. Makes me mad... I've felt what a car is like with that brace on. Off the lot, the car drives with 80% roadfeel, and control. It makes you feel like you've got 95% control of the car.

can u guys throw in what bars are out there, and what they cost?>

[SochBAT]

I got ripped of at Ctune for a $300 Suspension Techniques sway, front and rear. Whiteline($185*2), Cusco($460), and Intrax($429) come to mind. All pricey, some are good price-to-quality, others aren't. The thicker the better IMHO.

Dude, quit being lazy and do some searching!! Check out enjukuracing.com and projectsilvia.com for some decent sway bars.

also if you want to learn a thing or two, get an outside micrometer and go out to your car and measure your sway bars yourself! you'll get the measurement in inches and then uses this conversion: 1 mm = 0.03937 inch
I'm sure you have someone that knows how to use one, if not check out howstuffworks.com

Cmon quit being lazy :newbie:
