Default Type R Sway Bars?

I'm going to tighten up my suspension some. This the deal. Don't have the funds to lower ride at present time, however , I was going to replace my f/r sway bars on 98 GSR for some Type R's. I'm going w/ the Jdm 23mm ones in rear.
I'm also installing a Skunk2 lower tie bar.
Was trying to see if anyone have this setup & how they like the handling it gives. Also I figured this the least expensive way to improve the suspension without lowering car.
Looking forward to hearing your imputs.
Thanks & have a nice day..

If you want to be even cheap just get a usdm itr bar and bsq kit. Will make the car handle neutral supposedly. Cost me about 119 to do it.

if you're looking to save money, but still want to see a difference, don't bother swapping out the front and get the rear USDM ITR swaybar.

you'll need a mounting/reinforcement kit such as beaks or BSQ. i personally have the BSQ kit (for about 3+ years now). i've had no problems aside from one of the spacers corroding for some odd reason and that got replaced for free.

and yes, you will notice a significant improvement with this alone. understeer will be notably reduced.

Good looking out. That's what I'll do then. Now as far as the rear sway bar & BSQ kit where did you get yours from?

Reno96Teg, one thing where did you buy your sway bar & bsq kit. Was wondering do you think the dealer sell the kit. Thanks

Buy the sway bar at somewhere len baranaco acura or another online parts retailer. The dealer will not sell the BSQ kit...buy it from BSQ's website
