Sway Bar set up on civic

I gonna be doing a sway bar setup on my 99 hatch
I already have the ITR rear bar and ASR Subframe kit
I wanna replace the bushing on my setup as well.

Is the bushing kit/"D"bracket the same front and back
or are they 2 different bushing and bracket for the front
and 2 different bushing for the rear?

Is it possible to use a ITR front sway bar on a civic or should i be going with a SiR?

anyone using a sway bars on there eks?

thanks

just go with the SIR. i don't see a reason to have such a fat bar in the front. i went with a 21mm si bar in the front. i plan on upgrading the rear to a 22mm bar. i have a 14mm gsr bar on the back but it's not cutting it for me.

use an SIR front sway like I do, yeah it's very very noticable, and no you won't get the same result with an H brace.

it is very noticable. the front end was much more tighter and response was better with the front bar on. the h brace reinforces the subframe to reduce flex there so yeah it's a totally different thing. the sway bar will be much more noticable than the h brace. the h brace is a tie bar that bolts onto the subframe and the actual frame of the car.
