Default sway bars? Next step?

So ive got a 94 ex civic with custom rate ground control coilovers with kyb 5ways, stock front sway, and then upgradded brake, ive got integra fronts and stock ex rear disc. Thet all have power slot rotors and hawk pads. What would you guys suggest for some new suspension mods? I heard that sway bars jus stiffen and dont help with under/over steer? True or not. But just throw in soem .02 on some new toys. Oh yes thinking about getting into racing road courses.

That is not true at all. Swaybars will contribue greatly towards the balance of the car. For handling mods, a rear swaybar is probably one of the best bang for the bucks you can get on your Civic.

The other best bang for the buck mod would be good tires, even more so if you are really planning on getting into racing. If you are running on some regular all seasons, then you will notice a huge improvement from just upgrading to a stickier set of high performance tires.

As far as getting into road racing, there really isn't any necessary mods if all you're looking to do is drive and have fun (HPDE type stuff), you just get out there and drive with whatever racing organization you choose, for example NASA.
