Differences between JDM Sway Bar and USDM Sway Bar?

I received a set of JDM sway bars for the front and rear and compared them to the stock USDM ones and the JDM ones look exactly like the USDM ones. Are there any differences between JDM and USDM sway bars?

I don't see why there would be and if they look just like the usdm's then I guess not... I am sure someone can verify this

it also depends on trim level. the JDM had many many levels and editions....

Bathurst
Type R
Type RZ
Spirit R
Type RS
Efini
and many more

and most of these level had a different suspension setup; ie: stiffer, crisper, road noise etc......

if you want a newer sway bar... get a performance sway bar from almost any suspension manufacturer. you'd just be wasting money getting a JDM sway bar and then the car feels the exact same

From a variety of early cars - possibly - give or take a layer of paint, diameters of rears, 18 and 13.8 mm. Fronts 30.5 and 28.7.

In what you would call post 99 cars, from memory, there are a number of changes to the rear ARB during the production run, which appear to be unrelated to the performance spec. As to what those changes are
