I'm asking only because I would like to suggest picking up the CR stabilizer bars. It has completely transformed the car, well the Dunlop * Specs also have helped. My last 2 events I have placed 1st and 2nd, yesterday I was 2nd to a 2004 STi running non-DOT Kuhmo full on racing slicks and was just .079 seconds away. My final run I tried a bit too much and lost about .9 seconds from my 3rd run. The 3rd place car was about .8 seconds behind and this was the same result in the event prior and that car (AE86) is also running on s tires (R compound). Prior to putting on the bars and tires, I would be about 1.5~2 seconds behind 1st.

The car is so flat and has lost the massive plowing and body roll it once had which limited how hard it could be pushed. I won a raffle at a Honda meet we had here for $500 and picked up the bars for free, so glad I did because I am completely loving the way the car handles now and more and more I am somewhat forgetting the Teggy (though it will never be forgotten completely).

FYI

Sway Bars Overall diameter X wall thickness
00-01 Front 28.2mm X T5.0 - Rear 27.2mm X T5.3
02-03 Front 26.5mm X T4.5 - Rear 27.2mm X T4.5
04-07 Front 26.5mm X T4.5 - Rear 25.4mm X T4.5
08-? Front 27.2 X T5.3 - Rear 25.4 X T4.5
08 CR Front 28.6 X T4.5 - Rear 26.5 X T4.5

and some IP numbers I calculated, I realize the units are useless but basically the larger the number the stiffer the bar so these should give you some idea of how the years compare.
Front
Ip numbers
00-01 51314
