My plans for my sways was going to be a HICAS rear and Whiteline bushings. Is the K's as big (or bigger) than the HICAS one? WOuld it be an upgrade or just mad JDM tyte yo(j/k)?

Should be the same size as the USDM SE bar, unless the car had SuperHICAS which case it'd be the same as our HICAS bar.

K, thanks. I know several parts are upgraded on the K's cars, so I thought I would check.

Not to say anyones wrong, but I got a non-hicas rear subframe with my clip and the sway is a good bit bigger than my stock 93 hatch SE bar. Since I really don't know what kind of car my subframe came out of I can't provide much more info.

Note the front that came on my S13 Silvia clip was about 1/16th smaller that stock.

Whenever Nissan added a rear bar or increased the rear bar diameter they decreased the front bar..........natural progression to shift the rear roll stiffness as a higher % of the front [and total roll stiffness.

Many make the mistake of increasing front stiffness which negates the addition of a rear bar stiffness [at least in decreasing understeer].
