front and rear sway bar

Can someone give the size in mm of the front and rear sway bars of sir and itr?

for itr rear sway to bolt on an ek, it needs the beaks kit right?
and for the sir or itr front sway, they need sir control arm, is that right?

I thought ITR and CTR have 22mm rear, and SIR has 19mm rear.

Front, I don't know. Like 26?

26mm is right...

22mm rear ITR
14mm rear SiR

to put a front bar on a car w/o a front bar, you need the lower control arms - the base ones are cast iron, the sway bar ones are stamped steel.

for the rear, the SiR bolts right up, so does the GSR (also 14mm), and so does the ITR, but the ITR puts so much stress on the crossmember that it will weaken and rip out eventually. Aftermarket kits have a tendency to tear their endlinks in half.

To install a front sway bar, you will also need the forks and bolts as well as the control arms.

good call... the a-arm is wider, as a result the stock LX,CX,DX fork won't fit, and therefore the lower bolts are also too short. The lower bolts are like $10 each at Honda, so it helps if you get them with the parts... I found this out the hard way
