Im tired of understeer and I am really wanting to start auto-x soon. I have a 00 Integra GS-R. From what I understand it has a 24" front and 14" rear sway. Im looking at the comptech sway giving me a 22" rear and it would be up to par with the type-r as far as the sway bars go. I also see mugen makes a 24" this may be overkill but correct me if I’m wrong. my biggest question is should I stick with the 24" front or go higher or lower? I’m looking for neutral handling or maybe a little oversteer.
Thanks.

I'd say remove your front swaybar completely first. If that doesn't reduce understeer as much as you'd like, then upgrade your 14mm GSR bar to the 22mm Type-R rear bar. I have a '00 Civic coupe and I run a 22mm Integra Type-R rear swaybar on my car. I don't have a front swaybar either.
Try what I suggested, and then post back your comments/results. :cool:

would removing the front put my body roll over the top? right now im running on stock springs and struts and its not great now.

Nah it shouldn't. If you get a larger rear that will stiffen up overall anyways, though not as much as having one of each. Go with what I said in my first reply, and if it's a bit muc for you I'd highly suggest getting a front tower strut brace.
