Default Sway-bar options for EJ6 CX/DX

I have a 1997 civic hatchback
My current suspension setup is:
Gas struts
lowering springs
aftermarket RL control arms
'00 Si front upper tie bar
No-name-brand rear lower tie bar.

Does any one make a front sway-bar for 96-00 civic CX/DX? (or better yet, a complete front/rear kit)
I heard somewhere that there are kits that would not require me to change my front control arms, but I have never seen them myself.

Yout can get one out of a 96-00 ex. I think those are direct swap on your cx/dx without needing anything else. I know the front Si one will work too, but you need the Si front lca's and forks.

accualy from what ive seen, there is a difference... i got a 99 lx, and my friend got a 99ex, and he oreder at set of sway bars didnt notice the size, and they didnt fit his car, well he went out and tryed to put it on his brothers 96 hatch, didnt fit, then tryed my lx, and fit, so i dont know if they will but i would be becarful...

I would recommend http://www.progressauto.com but if your a cone carver and need ultimate oversteer can't do better than this

This looks like the rear bar, what about the front?
I'm not looking for the ultimate (wallet ain't deep enough), just something to keep my nose from diving when making hard turns.

Also, CX/DX can not use any of the stock front sway bars because the front control arms don't have holes to bolt the end-links in. That's the only reason why I was looking for an aftermarket.

Suspension Techniques sells complete front and rear kits that don't require new LCAs.i've installed a few of thee kits and they're very nice,and priced reasonably.
