One of the main reasons I am changing to the Hardrace Rear Toe Arms (is in effect a bumpsteer kit) to counter the MY 2002/03 non static toe change (toeing out during suspension droop). This problem causes the rear end to be rather unpredictable at certain times, which is further compounded on 02/03 cars due to stupid ass anti roll bar changes by Honda in these years. I think Honda's tweaking of Front & Rear ARB sizes went completely the wrong way in these years & in later years they reverted the opposite way to help alleviate these handling traits. Following is from "Chrispayze" suspension thread, post by "MB"

ps: Only last night I managed to get a MY1999 front ARB which is 28.2mm diamter / 393 lbs, (for £50 delivered! lol) this is almost exactly the same stiffness as the MY 08/09 Club Racer front ARB. (as compared to my 2002 front ARB at 300 lbs). Now hopefully this front 393 lbs ARB coupled with the std MY02 rear 396 lbs ARB will be a much better setup on my MY02 car & might just be the sweet spot when combined with Coilovers.

The Rear Bumpsteer issue is nicely explained in this thread below:

Nope, sorry I did sell them. Just my OEM-spec arms left in the box.
