Default Rear Sway Bar Only Replacement on 87 CRX?

OK, here is a naive question: I have a Suspension Techniques sway bar to put on the rear and have the stock in front , will this throw the handling off on a daily driver?

I have GC coilovers in the rear and Tokico ils all around.

Thanks,all

What if anything has been done with the front torsion bars? It should make the car more fun to drive in my opinion. I've got a 90 Civic and the only mod so far is a lightspeeed rear bar.

you're going to get more oversteer, definetly. you should look into upgrading to Civic Wagon torsion bars, but that could make it pretty harsh for a daily driver.

wow, that is a great change...hope i don't get a ticket taking the corners here in 4 wheel drift under great control...the rearend is much more "connected" to the ground. it is very manageable and can so far take anything that i can throw at it

I doubt Wagon bars would be too harsh. I have 25mm bars in my 87 Civic, and it is not bad at all. I do have Koni yellows, which I'm sure helps a bit!
