Nothing too extreme, a GSR 14mm sway bar would be nice, or even an LS 13mm sway bar.

 

COMPTECH SWAY BAR/TIE BAR COMBO all else

 

front, rear, or both??? what are your plans for the car?

 

asr brace with itr 23mm sway bar feels amazing.

yea i have an ek so i run the 22mm, but with the asr brace, its pretty amazing going from having no sway bar at all, to then having a nice set-up

 

ST Suspensions has a really nice set up also. They have a 1" (25mm) set up for the front with all new hardware, mounts, bushings, and endlinks. They also offer 2 different rears, both are .75" (19mm). There SpeedTech Rear has an intergrated rear lower tie bar and stronger rear swaybar brackets.

I just bought the front and rear bars for my EG.

this is good if you just want a sway bar to stiffen things up a bit. but if you wanna go all out i would suggest an asr brace and a itr rear sway bar

 

I run a stock EH3 Si front swaybar and a Suspension Techniques rear bar (with more preload and no tiebar) on my 93 Si. The combination allows the car to be as close to completely neutral as I've ever known a Civic to be. You can steer with the throttle at almost any point in a turn.

what are the sizes on those bars??? i know that neutral handling is amazing and im on my quest for it, but im sure you know that just getting asb is not going to do it, there is a lot of tuning involved in a good suspension, what is your camber front and rear?

i wouldn't suggest these though, having such a larger front bar will tend to cause increased understeer, which is something us fwd's try to eliminate as much as possible

 

I have a big assed front bar myself. If you increase the size of the front bar but, do nothing to the back then you will get more understeer. if you increase the front and add or increase the rear, you may or may not get additional understeer because the rear bar promotes oversteer and may cancel out the front bar's tendency to increase understeer.

I'm planning on switching to a thinner bar in front but, increase the spring rates above 550 lbs/in. I'm having problems getting power down on corner exit and think it's because the big front bar is trying to lift the inside wheel in corners.

I have the comptech rear bar. It aint all that. There are plenty of other options. You do want some kind of re-enforcement though. The sheet metal back there's paper thin.
