can anyone say if 24 at the front and 22 at the rear would be a good combo? i want to garage my civic and to build it up as a fun weekend track car when i get my next car. Also as im getting each bar seperatly, which one do you recomend is installed first front or rear. Do you guys think i should pay the extra $80+extra shipping to get an adjustable item from whiteline, or just stick with a 22mm integra type r bar.
Id go with the ITR ASR Brace Combo. Not only can you get it from the same place that lowek and paul1985 did, but its been proven time and again with sway bars up to 32mm. The ASR kit is top notch. Dont risk your rear subframe on your car for anything else. I run one on my car, and will be going with the 32mm sway bar soon.
BTW, a 24mm front seems to be a tad large. I dont think there is any reason why you can not just get the stock sway bar from any other civic.
Now for your track usage, the 24mm will balance it out a lot. Depending on your spring rates i think you might be leaning towards the side of understeer. I personally like Oversteer as i find it easier to control. Lets hear some more about your setup and i can see if the 24mm bar would be a tad much in the front.
