What size is your sway bar?

I purchased a neuspeed 25.4mm bushing kit for my front sway bar. I have a 2002 civic sedan lx (canadian). When I went to put them on I was like WTF my front sway bar is a lot smaller than 25.4mm I read a number on the black bushing and found 22.2mm (I even measured it to make sure it was right). Which means my cars stock sway bar has a 22.2mm front and a 13.0mm rear, anybody else have this problem???

i dont think a bushin kit alone will make much of an improvement,a rear bigger sway bar would be a better choice,then again,the tires/shocks/springs/strut bar all work together for cornering/straight line performance

I already did a 19mm RSX rear sway bar conversion.
.
I just talked to Honda.
.
Apparantly my 2002 4DR CIVIC LX (Canadian) has a 22.2mm front swaybar. Infact he said that all 2002 4DR DX,LX (don't know about EX cause they don't sell them up here in Canada) have 22.2mm front swaybars. All coupes have 25.4mm front swaybars.
Looks like I am going to order a 25.4mm sway bar so I can install my neuspeed bushings.
.
Just a warning for all you 4dr people when buying neuspeed bushings. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

really guys,thats only chump change as far as makin improvement on the body roll(thats what a sway bar does ,right?) very little effect from the bushin alone cus they only have slightly more resistance than the stock rubber bushings,technically,the bushings and the bar should be replace as an unit.
