Default sway bar vs strut bar

I know threres no opinion threads, so i wanna focus more on whether a strut bar or sway bar would improve handling more. Im getting money for my birthday to buy one.

So which has the greatest improvement of handling.

(I looked in the faqs and searched but coouldnt find a comparison)

Thanks

An anti-sway bar would yield better results, as it ties directly in to the active suspension. A strut tower bar wouldn't yield much more than slight chassis rigidity increases, under hard cornering.

Well, I've never seen anyone install a sway bar into their car.

Sway equates to body roll. Who would want to increase that?

You don't HAVE to have a stock anti-sway, because you can get the brackets and endlinks from any typical Honda parts dealer ( http://www.hondapartsdeals.com or http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com).
