gsr or itr rear sway bar

Hey guys....I'm interested in purchasing a sway bar for my 93 hatch. Now I know many people have been putting on the itr sway bar with the beaks kit inorder for the swaybar not to rip off the subframe. I have an opportunity to buy a gsr 19mm rear sway bar....do u think this sway bar would be a better setup?? will I need the beaks kit to mount it and will it perform well...what do u think?

19 mm bar is not a GSR bar, you've been misinformed.

Regardless, a real GSR bar you do NOT need a BEAKS kit for... but a 19 mm bar you would need subframe reinforcement for. ITR is 22 mm, and really there isn't that much of a diff in weight of a 19 mm and 22 mm bar per se... enough to cause subframe damade anyways.

stock GSR one is tiny... it's like a pencil haha... I know cuz I got one lying around somewhere... It's the same size as the SiR one mounted on my car... which I think is 14mm. You do know that you need Integra LCAs right? It could be 19mm solid aftermarket, but to be honest, if the guy can't say... don't buy it. A lot of them have endlink problems and make tons of noise. My buddy has a AWR bar on his Protege, and his car sounds like a bucket of bolts on wheels just cuz of the swaybar. Go for the ITR bar if you are considering a GSR aftermarket one.

Si didn't have a stock rear sway bar, right? basically, you need the holes to mount the endlinks to, and you get those by swapping to Integra rear LCAs
