Default HELP ! question about R sway bars

hey guys i posted this here since this section gets more action and quicker responses then the suspension section . anyway on to my question , i have a 97 civic lx (4door) with a heavy B20/vtec in the front . And the body rolls a little to much for me when spirtly driving on the winding roads here where i live , anyway i already have been given a set of front and rear type r sway bars , heres the dilemma i don't auto cross or any circuit track driving just spirted driving on the roads once in a blue moon would these sway bar be sufficient enough to tighten my car up for what i do or should i purchase some aftermarket ASR sways. Any help is appreciated , basically just curious if you guys were in my situation what would you do. Would you just install the type R bars or go spend more money of aftermarket ones . i just have zero knowledge with suspension and not sure if the type R bars are good or what.

P.S sorry about the novel i was just trying to explain my situation as best as possible .

PPS : also it dont have to be asr , just curious if any aftermarket bar is worth buying or just use my R bars

Yes it would help. You need subframe reinforcement for the rear one or else you may tear out your subframe.

X2 on the reinforcement... The R sway bar will rip out the LCA attachment points with out it.
Any rear sway bar you run that risk with.
