I am looking to buy the Suspension Techniques Front and Rear Sway-bar kit. My car does not come with a factory front bar and the kit comes with everything needed to install it correctly.

I was wondering if anyone has this kit and what I can expect in terms of handling performance and sacrifice to ride quality. (Bending of Sub-frame?)

I am also looking for a front strut tower bar but I am worried that it won't clear the intake manifold/filter box.

Any suggestions will be greatly appriciated.

as far as a front sway, u would need parts from an ex or si, front lcs's, forks and all harware for mounting sway bar.
as far as rear i just put a si rear sway it came w/ the endlinks, so its full bolton.

the ST kits for cars without factory bars are nice.
on my coupe i have the rear ST bar.no problems with the subframe after about seven years on the car.
i've also installed the complete front an rear kit on a Civic that didn't have the factory bars.the front setup is decent-about as good as you can expect considering there's no factory mounting points.
my recomendation would be a GSR stock front setup,and the rear ST bar.keep in mind thought that using the front GSR bar will require buying LCAs,the bar,endlinks,D-brackets,etc...

You could actually swap the Dx "down draft throttle body" manifold for a "side draft" style manifold off of the EX civic and then you'd have a bit more power and plenty of room to install whatever front strut bar you'd like
Edit: I did the manifold swap and bought a passwordjdm 3 point strut bar...quite nicer than the stock options

i think we're talking about sway bars here-not strut bars.
