I have a stock-suspensioned 97 LX Accord (no rear swaybar). I'm looking at getting either a thicker front bar (the 27mm kit on T.A.S., specifically) or buying a rear swaybar install kit.
I know that as a rule of thumb, less front bar and more rear bar = shift towards more neutral handling or reducing understeer, but honestly I only take the car out to the limit on clear onramps or offramps and otherwise drive at maybe 8/10ths, tops.
Based on my car and driving, should I upgrade my front bar and get a rear bar later (or not at all), or should I leave my stock front bar on and install one on the rear? I'm just looking to increase the car's steering response some without making it understeer like a Cavalier if I go through a big intersection leftie too fast.

 

Just buy the Suspensin Tecniques f/r sway bar sets. There like 250 bucks from summitracing.com

arguably, the "best", most balanced combo is the stock EX front bar (27mm) with an aftermarket rear bar. ST is good like mentioned above.

 

IMO just get a thick rear bar and see how you like that.
