Cusco in Japan put out a sway bar for the FD2 Civic Type R, which claims 128% more stiffness up front for the 28mm, and 134% for the rear 23mm bar. Since you get the stiffness using the fourth power:
Front:
28^4/x^4 = 1.28
x = 26.32mm
Rear:
23^4/x^4 = 1.34
x = 21.37mm
I'm scratching my head at why they're not rounded up numbers (eg 27mm and 22mm), hmmm. Correct my math if I'm wrong, but those should be the right numbers?

maybe their percentage increases are slightly incorrect.
because i wonder if the stock CTR bars would be more than just one mm smaller than cusco's bars.
- i would assume cusco would want to provide a difference more so than just one mm when putting aftermarket sways out on the market.
...and i furthermore wouldn't be surprised if the CTR ran a slightly smaller bar than our FA5's run, along with a larger rear sway...only makes sense really.
...of course then, if we want to consider manufacturing and production, they might use the same front sway as we run to reduce costs.......?
either way, the CTR and progress rear bar now seem to be basically the same size.....does the CTR have reinforced mounts?
