2g gsx rear sway bar

[okm12346]

ok, I found a few threads on this, but still cant find the size of 2g gsx rear sway bar. Can someone help? I looked uo on-line and found that it was supposed to be 18mm, but I need a confirmation.

RM Racing, known for their work on the Acura NSX, has brought us these awesome sway bars, track-proven by the hard-driving RM Racing crew. The bars fit all 1995 or newer Eclipses and Talons. The RM Racing front bar is 20.6mm in diameter (40% stiffer than the stock 19mm). The rear bar is 80% stiffer than stock. For AWD cars, that means a 20.6mm bar instead of the stock 18mm; for FWD cars that came with a rear bar, the RM rear bar is 17.5mm instead of the stock 13mm.

I just swapped out my stock sway bars from my 2g 1995 talon tsi awd. The stock bar is 18mm I assume it fits in the 2g gsx? dunno but I have one in ok shape (a little rusty, and I had to grind the links off) I could wire brush and repaint, it would look great. Heres a side by side photo with the stock vs the rm bars

What is the thickness of the RM front and Rear sway bars?
Did you install both? How does it feel? feels more understeer or oversteer?
Thank you

For sizes, see my quote in post #2.

Since you're a GSX, most other people with AWD cars start off just installing the rear bar and then see how the car runs. Then, if they feel it needs the front bar (usually people with fairly good suspension setups), they'll install it.

I installed both RMDSM bars at the same time, instead of the rear only. Still understeers, but much less than stock. I can get most of the remaining understeer out by altering tire pressure.
