Default wat size sway bar for 94-97 accord?

i'm planning on getting a rear sway bar but i'm not sure how big it should be..the car is a 97 accord ex coupe...its a daily driver and i'm only planning to autocross for fun on some weekends...i've been told my stock front sway bars are 27.2mm in front but are hollow and 15mm i think in rear (i noe its bad)...posts i've read tell me i don't really need to upgrade my front sway bar..any inputs/suggestions? btw i'll be running hnr sport and kyb agx shocks...can someone recommend some good reputable sites to buy from also?

if I get a 21 mm s/t rear sway bar will it perform better than my stock ones since it isn't hollow even though it is smaller? will i get oversteer with these or do i have go with an aftermarket front sway bar? suggestions?

i have the ST kit on a 97 accrd not sure of the mm and agx w/a ground controll set up . on a super sharp turn going about 60-70 my rear end drifts
out. i gotta say it was the best money spent. doing a tein coil over though
the ghetto coil overs not reccomended. i just started getting in to auto cross my self. so i'm not to sure whats best yet. but i'm happy

GO DC sport all around, you wont be upset, suspension techniques are healthy also, i think even comptech might have a few pieces...

dc sports dont make sway bars, i think you ment to say strught bars.
and as far as those go they are only for show.
the holes in the actual bar weeken the support on a heavy turn.
i went with tenabe and skunk 2 strught set ups(nice and soild). i did upper and lower all the way around didnt make a diffrence like the sway bars, but it helps.

get a set mang, front and back.
it's a tuned set so i guess it's worth the extra bill or so.

ST's are good stuff, comptech is kinda pricey but i was told they are the best shxt on the market..

when came to size of the sway bar, bigger=/= better.
it's the right size that make it work..

Go with the ST sway bar set Got mine about a month ago... Love it! Took some turns at 60-70 and my front and rear held up . At times i thought the rear would slip out from under me, but it held up very well. Now i just need stickier tires. Nitto 450's suck , they squeek doing slow turns

yes you can all strught bars and 2 sway bars.
my current set up is tenabe upper and 2 piont strught bar. in the rear is a bootleg tenabe upper and skunk 2 lower w/ the ST sway set up.
to tell you the truth i can't feel the diffrence w/ the strught braces on
it was the sway bars for me that felt good. the strught bars are for body roll,**** i could go on and on......
i get some pictures up this week of my set up so you can get an idea.
later,
Ryan
