The test is find out if a Civic with the RSX Type S 19mm rear anti sway bar handles as well as a car with the Integra (RSX) Type R 22mm rear anti sway bar. The only other necessary suspension mod you must have is a fairly good drop and preferably NOT on stock tires. If you'd be interested in doing this it would be much appreciated.

Performance tires are definitely recommended because stickier tires alone overall do more for the car than a rear anti sway bar with a drop on stock tires. AND it's safer.
Oh, just out of coincidence, having the rear anti sway bar without a drop but with tires that grip do not qualify as well. The 19mm rear anti sway bar without a drop could possibly promote oversteer.
And just for the record, this is how I order my suspension mods:
1. Wider/stickier tires or rims with some good tires
2. Drop (some prefer this before the tires but I say the tires first due to the fact that)
3. Struts/shocks
4. Anti-roll bars
Yeah, I'm on stock shocks because Koni Yellows are too expensive.
Hmm, and because it's going to start raining, looks like this test might have to wait unless you don't mind driving on wet surfaces. [IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG] j/k Don't want any accidents, that's why I have the rules.!
