Whiteline front sway bar vs CTR OEM sway bar

[yakuza]

Hi Folks:

Is anyone experience whiteline H/duty front sway bar & EP3 Type-R front sway bar? which 1 is stronger? What I knew is whiteline made 24mm dia for H/duty model, but not sure about EP3, someone said 26mm, is that true? Will it better than whiteline?
Cheers

I have an EP3R bar at home that I can measure the diameter to confirm later on tonight. I believe the OEM EP3 bar is hollow but I don't want to cut it to check .

Without knowing the wall thickness it is very difficult to compare which is "stronger" but with swaybars stiffer is not always better. I don't think that many DC5s need a larger diameter front bar for handling reasons.

I have one at home, not sure the diameter but 100% sure it is less than 26mm because i have cusco jdm dc5 bar (which is 26mm), and it doesn't fit into my ep3R sway bushing.

Oh you can get it off me if you need a ep3R swaybar, no need anymore as i've upgraded to jdm brembo setup

huh? pretty sure ep3R front sway clears the brembos too. but either way you upgraded. I also thought cusco for dc5R was 25mm? unless there is a 26mm one

I think the whiteline swaybars are 24mm solid bar where as the oem type r is 26mm OD hollow bar.
Correct me if I'm wrong

The ep3r front sway bar is 25.4mm and is hollow.
All DC5 and EP3 front sways are hollow.

Civic HyperRev volume 3 tells me that the EP3 bar is 25.4mm OD with 4mm wall thickness. My rudimentary measurement of the bar puts it at around 26mm OD and Tiu tells us that it doesn't fit his 26mm bushes so I guess that 25.4 is about right .

Clears the Brembos? The EP3R bar doesn't fit correctly with the Aluminium LCAs from the JDM DC5 Type R.
