What sway bar kit do I buy? Tried searching, but too much information = confusion.
Hey folks,
recently picked up a 1994 civic EX. I am looking for stock ride quality, but to get rid of the body roll, I plan to install a front and rear sway bar kit. I figure this will help, especially considering that there is no rear sway bar at all now.
Anyhoo, I've spent some time searching these forums, but with so many different combinations people run, I am not sure what to do.
What sway bar kit can I order to make the best improvement for a reasonable price, that will bolt on my stock EX?
Also, any recommendations on where to order from?
Finally, would I be better off going the junkyard route and finding stock parts from an integra?
Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

For example, I found these:
http://store.summitracing.com/...9+115
Would these have EVERYthing I need to install on my car?
Also, what is the kit to get? I noticed one has a 1" front bar, and the other has a 3/4" front bar. hmm ???

i believe the front swap bar on the teg is the same diameter as the one thats on your car now. the rear one on the gsr is pencil thin. if you want oem go with the ITR rear sway bar but with the beefier bar youre gonna need to reinforce your car otherwise it will rip out. so pick up the ASR subframe reinforcement.

Re: (Wannabe JDM)
Good info so far. Is the Brace really necessary?
Also, is replacing my stock front bar of any advantage? (ST kit comes with front and rear... is this any better than stock?)

The brace is not necessary a.) and b.) you don't need a bigger front swaybar. Get the suspension techniques rear swaybar kit and you'll be fine. If you're not autocrossing or road racing, I doubt you'll be able to tell the difference in front suspension changes anyway.
