oh man, i remember that suspension. get springs/struts first IMO.
you don't have any sway bars, front or rear. get a Si front and a ITR rear, thats my recomendation but there are plenty of other combos out there.

Strut bars are LAST on your list.
In the front I would go with the Sway Bar from a 99SI which is 26mm. You will need other parts to make it work, just search the forum and you will find it.
In the back, you only have two choice. The Beaks ITR 22mm Kit (www.beaksproducts.com) or the Comptech Tie/Sway bar combo. Both are solid choices. Search to find the specifics.
There are some people that have ST sway bars, which is the cheapest solution, but I am not fond of the way they attach and the lack of rear reinforcement. But I have never used them to judge their performance.

any other EK owners notice how well our cars handle with just minor suspension upgrades? i was suprised. i know our wheel base is longer, but what else was done between the EG and EK chassis?

to run an SI front sway bar you will need:
Sway bar
d brackets
endlinks
front lca's
shock forks
Good luck trying to find these parts.

I run ex front sway with ex front lower control arms, rear sway is SI.
Neuspeed strut bars, and neuspeed rear lower tie bar.
KYB Adjustable shocks, and Eibach sportlines. The car handles very well.
Tires also play a very big part. (S03's or azenis!)

i am running ground control springs with kyb agx's. i love my setup i can go nice and smooth or nice and hard. the handling is soooo much better i really like the shocks and the springs are nice but sometimes they make noises and dont sit in the collors of the shock. i still need to work that out. but other then that i recomend them because they are cheap but really nice.

I got strut bars and they seem to do a great job. am looking into a rear sway but currently have both upper and lower rear. I know neuspeed makes a great front upper bar...
