I believe the ITR bar is 25mm and the GSR bar is 24mm. I don't know how much better the ITR one would be.

The rear bar is the big difference

Torsional stiffness goes with dia^4, so 25mm would be almost 18% stiffer than 24mmm. But I think the bar doesn't go straight side-to-side, so it's not exactly that simple.

Still, the rear bar is LOTS stiffer.

ITR Front Swayber is the same diameter as the GSR front. The place there is a significant difference is the 14mm GSR rear swayber vs the 22mm ITR Rear swayber.

Yea, I just found that out. The ITR and GSR bar are both 24mm. The endlinks are different I believe, I don't know whether or not they are shaped the same.

And get the Comptech Rear Tie/Sway if you are doing anything back there :goodjob:.

The civic SI has a 26mm front swaybar...but you need SI LCA's to use it.
