i think sway bars are a nice way to reduce body roll without riding on 700lb/in springs F/R and rattling your fillings loose

Thicker CR sways should have great benefits, and they aren't too expensive from HardTopGuy...

They aren't the same as the ap1. The steering rack is and I think thats it. I bought just the front bar to take out some of that oversteer still haven't put it in. Its winter here. I'm looking forward to the summer where I can test it out on those long sweeping turns in the canyons!

28.6 f and 26.5 r. They are only about 180.00 bucks for the pair through Hardtopguy. I will be purchasing these soon.

Nice find, I am pasting the stuff in this thread also for reference:

And the '08 CR has these:
28.6xt4.5 / 26.5xt4.5

Doing a little digging I see the '00-01 had:
28.2xt5.0 / 27.2xt5.3

And it's clear to see the '02-'07 models were softened up...
'02-'03:
26.5xt5.0 / 27.2xt4.5
'04-'07:
26.5xt5.0 / 25.4xt4.5


here's my own research. not up to date.

year front----------------rear
2000 51300-S2A-003 52300-S2A-013 28.2MMXT5.0 27.2MMXT5.3
2002 51300-S2A-013 52300-S2A-J01 26.5MMXT4.5 27.2MMX4.5T
2004 51300-S2A-023 52300-S2A-J02 26.5MMXT4.5 25.4MMX4.5*
2006 51300-S2A-023 52300-S2A-J02 26.5MMXT4.5 25.4MMX4.5*
*according to press release.

btw, according to king motorsports, mugen makes these swaybars:

Front Stabilizer - 25.4mm [51300-XGS-S0N0-B2]
Front Stabilizer - 31.8mm [DISCONTINUED]
Rear Stabilizer - 25.4mm [52300-XGS-S0N0-B2]
Rear Stabilizer - 30mm [52300-XGS-S0N0-B1]

no idea what the thickness is, or if its even hollow. perhaps a discussion on mugen swaybars deserves another thread....

1"=25.4mm

So after seeing the CR spring rates at 375/264 and the above sway bar specs, the CR should oversteer much less than other s2k's, correct?
