integra VTI-R sway bars on a GSI

[m7key]

hi all,
would integra VTI-R stock sway bars fit my GSI? and if they do would it make much difference to handling? dont really want to buy after market ones cause i saving for a B18c engine.
thanks

AFAIK they're the same. You want an ITR sized bar at the back anyway.

Dc2 vtir and dc4 gsi have the same front and rear swaybars

Sorry for hijacking.. is the VTiR front swaybar same size as Type R?

No it isn't

[m7key]

oh sorry... i was told that GSI sway bars were about 3mm smaller on the front and back.

[bennjamin]

Gsi has the same 14mm rear swaybar as the vtir

Cannot confirm on the front tho !

If I were you I'd just go for a DC2R rear sway bar and leave the front one standard. Will improve handling. Might also need a sub-frame brace as the DC4 rear sway bar mounting points aren't designed too withstand the roll-resistance that a larger RSB will provide.

Yeah I was just thinking that, I read that if you use a thicker rear swaybar and no subframe brace it can tear the subframe apart...! :O
