just a quick question, will a 98 dx hatch come with a front sway bar?

 

nope

 

so in order to put one on i need the lower control arms from a model that does correct?

also what would be the best size bar to use, for the front and rear?

you would need some from a civic si. i think the stock size on the front is 21mm

 

if you get the 99-00 si (em1) front lcas you need the si front sway bar, its 26mm. that bar isnt compatible with the other sway bar lcas from that period.

96-00 EX and HX came with 22mm front bars stock, which use the 'standard' vertical endlink design. you can use the lcas from those cars with pretty much any bar aside from the em1 si and itr.

I was very happy with 24/21 f/r bar combos on my 96 ex with otherwise stock suspension before some jackass hit that and wrecked it

how long did you had that setup, did you have any rear re-enforcement, and i am confused, you had 24mm in the front? correct? and how was the ride? and what spring rate and brand did you have thank you

 

i had that setup for about 5 months. i had the 24 up front. i ran a suspension techniques front bar coupled with a blox rear on an ASR reinforcement kit.

The ride was very nice since this was on stock springs and shocks. i would have preferred somethign a bit stiffer, but it was more than acceptable as it was.

 

i have a 97 DX running the 99 Si's front LCA's, shock forks, and the 26mm sway bar. Omnipower rear lca's, ASR subframe brace, and itr22mm rear sway bar. It works great... and i highly recommend it
