Default EF H22-SWAP Info-Do i need a front sway bar?

Hi Everyone,

I am currently doing an EF H22 and would like your opinion. I have a base model that did NOT come with a front sway bar and would like to know if I really needed one with this kind of swap.

I have the following suspension setup:

-Traction Bar
-D2 Coilovers
-All bushings are brand new from Energy Suspension hyper flex
-Ultra Racing Front Strut Bar

The car will not be daily driven but will encounter occasional street/drag racing during the weekend. Motor is stock at the moment and will stay so for a year.

Thanks for your input

Chris

Agreed. Depends on what you prefer. It is not needed though.

I have daily driven a H22A4 powered '95 Civic DX Coupe since 2002. Initially, it had neither a front nor rear sway bar. I then installed a Progress Group rear sway bar and the handling of the car improved... becoming much more neutral. To this day, it does NOT have a front sway bar... and is a joy to drive on the street.
