Ill make it simple.

If you make any sort of aggressive driving that involves any sort of corners, yes a rear sway bar and the necessary subframe reinforcement is a good investment

If you drive like you are taking your DMV drving test, NO

ASR brace is good insurance against subframe tearout when a large rear swaybar is used. However if using something like a 22mm ITR rear swaybar on a 92-95 Civic, the ASR brace is NOT required. A simple Beaks reinforcement kit will work just fine. For larger bars like the Mugen 26mm, then I would say yes, use the ASR brace just in case.

The ASR brace is pretty much required on 96-00 Civics due to their thinner, weaker rear subframe.

Thanks for the info everyone!

Right now the suspension is koni yellows and H&R springs. I plan on a suspension upgrade sometime this year but firearms are number one right now.
