Default swaybar recommendations?

I have a 94 hatch that is primarily a street car, but will be attending some auto x's and track days.
I have stock springs with AGX shocks.

I'm looking for more roll stiffness, but will be keeping the stock springs a little while longer as the ride is better for the wife.

I see there are several different brands and sizes of swaybars available for this model, and was wondering about any experiences people on here may have with any of them.

I'm thinking of getting both front and rear bars.

There is suspension techniques, eibach, etc. to choose from...

when you're looking for strut bars, you want to find something that is a one piece. bars that are not one piece, that have screws/bolts/hinges arent as structrually strong in comparison.

look at the Neuspeed bars. they're one piece and are great quality, i have one myself.

I also want to install front and rear swaybars on my 92 EG6 but. wouldn't that tear out the rear reinforcment if you don't have the proper brace? In that case would it be much wiser to go with OEM swaybars? Do they even come with swaybar? I have a 92 civic DX 1.5L and I don't see any on there? I know you have to get 94-01 Integra lower control arms to mount the swaybars correct?

Go with some DC4 front AND rear sways with LCA's. Best bang for your buck. DO NOT get the ES bushings though, get some brand new ones. I know someone with this set up and it KICKS ***! Wayy cheaper than that after market **** too.


For strut bars:
-Mugen (REAL DEAL)
-OEM Si/GSR/Del Sol VTEC
-Neuspeed 2 piece.

Do not go with a 3 piece bar, even if Skunk2 makes it.

1st? yes, purchase a subframe brace
2nd? I have not noticed a difference in a JDM/Neuspped rear sway bar
3rd? yes, but not all
4th? Can't answer, since who knows if you know exactly where to look and previous owner.
5th? You can get aftermarket LCAs also, just make sure they have the whole to link your sway bar to.

Well now I understand why many of the ad's for rear swaybars were also selling braces.

Thanks for the info.

ITR rear bar. And don't buy Blox LCAs, they suck. They're like the cheapest of the aftermarkets, but the bushings on mine went in about 2000 miles, even with clocking them when I installed them.

I'm pretty sure I know where the sway bars are and what they look like. Thanks for being a smartass tho bro. Did you make your self feel smarter?
