ITR sway bar sizes

Anyone know the factory front and rear sway bar sizes are for a 1996 ITR ?

I've got excessive oversteer issues and need to check my assumptions that i'm stock at present.

I cant rememebr the sizes off by heart, but easiest way to find out
is to look on the side of the factory swaybar bushes, theres a number on it
and thats exactly how wide they are

F%$K me. I have a 26mm rear bar, 24mm front.

The rear looked stock looking, but i have measured it 3 times,26mm every time.

No wonder i have oversteer.

Who has a factory ITR rear sway bar and bushes for sale ?

bars

26 rear is a circuit only mod when running springs in the region 1000lbs front and 900lbs rear

using a 26 bar on less rates will definitely induce oversteer.

im running a 22mm solid ITR rear bar on my EJ1
but the rear springs are only 225lb tein springs! I got mad over steer in one corner at taupo

fronts are 500lb

the car is already bumpy as hell at 100kmh so i think ill stick with soft springs unless the oversteer gets crazy. ill try hardening up the shocks
