Default rear sway for a crx

Looking for a good rear sway bar for a crx. I was wondering what you guys suggest. Is the suspension techniques too stiff for a road coarse? I've heard that maybe it is. Any other suggestions, or should i be fine with a st or eibach.

I'm using ST front and rear sway bars. Did a lapping day with them with the rear on the stiffest setting. I didn't find it too stiff, felt pretty good. Enough rotation for me but you have to be on your toes when trail braking. The rear ST sway bar has 3 settings for stiffness.

Not a lot of options for an adjustable rear bar on a CRX. The ST bar is the only adjustable one I know of and lots of people use them on road race cars. I have one but haven't used it yet and it bolts to the bottom rear shock bolt instead of directly to the lower control arm like the stock bar does. I have a non-adjustable Neupseed rear bar on the back of my daily driver that I have used on three or four street and race CRXs over the last nearly 10 years. It is a nice piece, uses spherical rod ends for end links and mounts to the lower control arm directly but it is not adjustable.

The are probably the two most common rear bars.

Thanks for the info guys. I am on 205-50-15 kuhmo mx's now, so i think i can get away with no rear sway for now. But i think it will be quite evident that i will need one once i get my r compounds.

progress also has a rear adjustable sway bar that fits the CRX.

neuspeed has swaybars for the CRX as well.

addco currently lists a sway bar for the crx. havent seen a picture. they say 3/4" thick.

ST bar is fairly cheap tho. which is why its commonly used.

mugen rear bar 22mm fits like OEM. just not available anymore. i got mine used, but in great shape.

there was some other company that had a rear bar that fit like stock... cant remember. ill have to dig it up...

[edit] eibach and intrax both show civic/CRX 88-91 applications and i think they use stock mounting as well.
