Any bar 17.5mm or smaller. It tears because the metal of the subframe of EK/EJ Civics is VERY thin, I'm talking 20 gauge thick metal at the most. Also larger bars exert a LOT of force onto the chassis since they can't flex much at all, so all that energy has to go somewhere, and it get's put into the frame where it's mounted up to. Mine happened from angling up and down a very steep driveway ramp at my work the past several months.
