Default swaybar options

What is the best swaybar for a 96-98 civic? I'm new to all this and need a little help. Thanks.

and how serious are you looking to go? for example, small like the Si's 13mm rear or large like an ITR 22mm rear, which will require further bracing.

i like the ASR rear subframe brace, it adds a little ballerness to good function. Or you can go the ghetto fabulous way with washers for spacing and metal plates to spread out the load. If not, you will more than likely tear out your rear subframe.

Will the ITR rear fit on a sedan? If so I think I'll go that route and get a rear subframe brace.

They are there, you will need the subframe brackets (not the D link brackets) and endlinks from a SI

c1 sleeper, that was really helpful. Thanks. Looks like I'm just gonna look for an SI rear for now. Seems to be the best choice until I upgrade the front to a larger diameter.
