Default please settle the dispute!! ST sway bars?

i am in the process of finding an aftermarket
front and rear sway bar...
i heard stories of ST bars ripping the subframe...
and blah blah... it gets me a lil worried..
i dont know WHERE i can purchase Si LCA's and how much they are
and if the price is justified rather than getting the ST ones...
does one handle better than the other...
i dont road race (yet) but i love the occasional twisties...
its for a 96 EK hatchback CX model...

does my car come stock with a front sway bar?
i havent even checked...

in any case... what would be the best solution....?
ST bars or Si LCA's with ITR bar?
if it was up to me.. i would get the ST...
cuz i can get em DIRT cheap...and i mean DIRT DIRT cheap...

TIA guys....

I've heard this happening too, but I don't think it has happened to many ppl! and I believe it was b/c of the setup they had. sway bars and a rear-tie bar.

I called ST to ask them about this and they said that they had not tested <U>all</U> rear-tie bars for this problem. Plus it is hard to get the bars to fit with one another....so????

I plan to get ST sway bars too.....how dirt cheap?? let us know, K?

Yup, you have a 22mm front sway bar.
I would go with the SI LCA's for the simple reason that they are ment to have a sway bar mounted to them......get them at either a junk yard, thepartstrader, or from a honda auto wreaker.
I would just use the SI rear sway bar. Unless you plan on racing the ITR is gonna be too much.
