Default 2004 Accord v6, Sway Bars?

I'd like to help the feel more or less of my 2004 Accord to handle much like my older 97 prelude wich was much more "flat". Not trying to win any competitions just really want to enjoy the ride more. The only sway bar kit i've found was a rear only application, does anyone know of the best way to get the responsive feel of the prelude from my Accord?

Sorry for the noob style questions, please no flames

PS: this is the only sway bar I can locate online. Lots of people sell sway bar "links" but I have no idea what exactly they will help???

Considering that the car is a 2004, very very "familish" car, there's probably very little aftermarket support towards this chassis, so therefore.... this might be the only one or one of the very few aftermarket sway bars available for this model.
To stiffen the car as you would like, a sway bar alone won't do it. You would need to upgrade the springs/shocks as well, to get that feeling, of course... using good parts on it.
The preludes weren't family cars, it's a sporty car, it had a sporty engine, transmission, interior and suspension.

I agree with gianinline,

what you bought is a family sedan it will never perform like the prelude did

best way to go about it though:

suspension (springs/shocks)
sway bars (maybe the tl or tsx ones?)

Despite it being a family car/sedan, they still have sway bars available. Greddy has a strut bar, as well as another company (Eibach or another company with a name like that) but I'm having a brain fart, and I can see it on my friend's car. You can also look into wider tires which are huge for cornering (I have 235's, and one of my friends runs 245's on his sedan). If you need any other help, visit http://www.gen7accord.com for more 7th gen (03-05) specific help. Although its down for maintenance at the moment, it should be back up tomorrow.
