Default what sway bars to go with? SUS EXPERTS LOOK HERE!!!

hey, i just was wondering what swaybars to go with, ive searched and gotten mixed reviews of everything, so i wanted to let everyone know what i have, so i can get the appropriate mm sway bar . . . .

i drive a 97 civic coupe, it has eibach sportline springs on it, and kyb agx's. im not sure what the spring rates are but i know it has to do with what size sway bar to get. By the way, my car is an everyday driver, im not gonna be roadracing, i just want something that will even my car out more, so itll be like 50/50 feel? so i was wondering what sway bars to with, and what size bar to go with? i was thinking just si front and si rear? but i dont know if that will give me over or understeer? pleez help i know nothing obviously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a lot of people prefer the comptech rear sway/tie combo which is 22mm. a buddy of mine uses the si front bar in addition to the comptech and it feels good. definately not 50/50 with only two bars, but good for daily driving.

BUMP!, ok ive searched more and ive been reading about suspension and oversteer and understeer, i want to get it dont with swaybars, does anyone know the eibach spring rates for 96-00 civic coupes? i think i should go with an si front sway bar, and a ctr rear one, this being because itll help even out the the car, having a fatter back sway bar, thicker than a stock si one being 14 mm, i think ???? any input on this setup would help PLEEEEEEEZ
