Front and rear sway bars - ASpec vs Type-S

[SeanIsElsewhere]

Does anyone have pics or spec sheet for the either the ASpec or Type-S sway bars, or both for comparisons? I’m curious as I have been eye-balling eibach’s pair and would like to compare it to OEM parts on both the ASpec and Type-S. Essentially looking to see if I should upgrade to Eibach’s kit or buy the bars, links etc for the Type-S to install on my ASpec

Aspec:

Rr (mm): 18.0 solid

Type S:
Fr (mm): 29.0 x 5.0 tubular
Rr (mm): 20.5 solid

You’re the man! Thanks so much for posting these findings. Now I’m def torn between going OEM+ (typeS) at 20mm vs aftermarket eibach at 22mm…

& in case anyone doesn’t know the front sway bar the subframe has to be dropped to change it.

Edit: so I’d wait for a clutch upgrade/replacement if anyone is thinking of doing it with a manual

Oh yeah that ought to be fun lol Part of the reason I’m buying the combo kit of front and rear but front might have to wait until the spring when I have more time and energy lol

Coming from a 10th gen civic which had about the same specs and similar design (sway bar wise). Swapping the front in everyday driving I didn’t really feel made as big of a difference as the rear sway bar. The rear is night and day (went aftermarket)

Right on that’s what I’m hearing around as well! Would you say you felt a lot more confident in taking sharp-ish turns at speed than before? I am still on the stock tires as well which I went to bat for for a little while but after 24k miles I’m finding they are utter trash. I’m getting g new tires in the spring, staying on the stock wheels for the time being but running spacers and lowering so hoping that the rear sway bar plus these other widening and stickier, wider track, tires also will help reduce the under steer. To be honest, I haven’t had the gonads to really push it in some of the tighter turns around my town becasue I’m not confident in the current stock tires or the amount of roll I’m already feeling when barely pushing. I feel like I couldn’t get the back to fly out even if it tired around a turn :/

I haven’t mod the integra for handling, besides lowering springs but that’s minimal.

In my 10th gen I was running 255/35r18 Firestone Indy 500 summer tires with the rear + front sway bar as well as lowering springs and strut bar and man I was hugging turns no problem. Not even a slight chirp from the tires, of course grip goes away the more miles you put on your tires. On those summer tires I had about 26k miles and they were still gripping good. Going from the stock all seasons tires to summer tires makes a world difference. Thankfully living in CA I was able to run them year round

With those tire specs for your 10th gen; were you on stock wheel as well? (18x8) asking

I would love to go 255 on the width on these stock 18s on the ASpec but wasn’t sure how’s they’d both look and feel with that much width.
Suspension is what I’m most excited about being as I have a CVT and most of my power mods will be minimal so really just looking for responsive and grippy driving when on the twisty bits.
Now I really wanna run these bars and drop ASAP lol

I was on 18x8.5 running the 255/35, i believe to run the stock wheels you would need 245 tires.. 255 requires a minimum 8.5 wheel if I can recall

Yeah I think you’re right; 245 it is then
