Ok first things first I did search, but with everybody having different opinions on this and on that is making me even more confused!
So I wanted know about sway bars and which ones would you guys suggest I get. I have a 93 Civic Si with Neuspeed Race and Koni Yellow. I mostly do auto-x but I 2-3 hpde events in the summer. I am not sure if the Si came with a front sway bar but I know it didn't have one in the rear. I know it's probably been covered but I feel a little lost right now after reading some many post on it.
Thanks for you help!
EDIT: would I be missing anything if I get this kit for my 93 Si http://www.heeltoeauto.com/Bea....html

You will need LCAs because the factory Si LCAs don't have the threads to bolt the endlinks to. I went to a junkyard and found some '95 Integra LCAs for $40 (I think). If you end up looking at junkyards, just make sure the car wasn't hit in the rear. Also, good Integra LCAs will look like they have a bend in them. It's weird looking, but they're just like that.
I think that's a fairly good deal for $220. That link should have mentioned that any '92-'95 Civic without a factory sway bar (which is almost all of them) would need LCAs, rather than saying it's "everything you need." Other than the LCAs, that kit looks like it has everything else.
Edit: CrazyDave beat me to it about the Integra LCAs. The Suspension Techniques rear sway bar utilizes a L bracket that attaches to the front of the shock bolt, so you wouldn't need LCAs. I don't know what sizes the ST bar comes in now, but I had one years ago and it was small... like factory Si/GS-R small. I'd recommend the Integra LCAs and that Beaks ITR bar.
