+1 for this. Stock front might as well be stock back. Or if you can find that AEM optional I believe it was 15mm or 16mm that bolted directly to the subframe and not those tear out brackets.

well i plan on adding an ASR bar to complete my Function 7 control arms. i love the *** end of my car so im gonna make it look even better. im on D2 coilovers and would like to do some spirited driving. i dont want to get too much oversteer though and definately dont want to lose the *** end of my car in a turn. would an SI bar still be the way to go?

If your gonna add the ASR subframe brace might as well get a CTR sway. It might take a little getting used to. If you go with the Si bar I would tell you there is no need for the ASR but I have seen pics of EK's with stock bar subframe tear out(those guys must have rusted out subframe though).

when you say a little getting used to, its because it will cause a little bit of oversteer with my stock front sway bar. isnt the CTR bar like a 21mm or something? what would be a good size for the front with a CTR bar to give it a neutral feeling, while eliminating most all body roll

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. As for the front your stock one should suffice. You could go with the CTR bar in the front as well but for some reason I like a little more oversteer. I would try the CTR rear bar and then make your next move. If you already have your hands on the OEM Si bar try that first.
