Default Suspension setups for 5th gen accords, I need your opinion

Ok i have neuspeed sport springs and koni yellow shocks now. the handling is much better than stock but i stilll have some slight body roll. what suspension upgrades should i by from the follwoing list:

neuspeed front strut bar
neuspeed rear strut bar
s/t front sway bar
s/t rear sway bar

im tryign to cut down on the body roll a lot and increase some oversteer. right now im leaning more towards the neuspeed front strut bar and the s/t rear swap bar. what do you guys think? please post your suspension setups and your opinions on that setup.


thanks in advance

dude im not trying to go that far , but that setup sounds sweet as hell. thats too much for me especially for a daily driver. i just want pretty good handling for when i take that fun curvy road near my job(you know where waples mill road is in fairfax?)

While we are talking about front sway bars I was thinking of getting one for my accord v6 because the front end leans way and I mean way too much. I was just wondering if I did get a front and rear sway bar for my car that it would ballence them out. I am not looking to make it a killer performer in the corners because I know it wont ever reach that standing being as heavy as it is but I want to make it less boat like so a front sway bar can help correct?

I had a neuspeed rear sway bar added to my 99' sedan,
it made a huge difference, Im also running H&R sport springs and koni yellows,
the sway bar tied the whole rear end in and keeps nice and tight thru corners expesally
over 60 mph,

dont have any pics but i can tell you that when i just had the springs, i had like 1.5 finger gap on all 4 corners. when i installed the shock, the front stayed the same but for some ******* reason the rear is lower than the rear. its fucked up and im pissed, now i need to use the adjustable perch and raise the rear.
