Default Rear Sway Bar for 88 civic sedan

Ive been looking around and I have found write up on putting stock sway bars on the ef sedan. But I am looking for someone who has done it with an after market sway bar.
which sway bar works the best?
what will I need to do it?
what modifications are needed?

you get the drill, so please help. thanks

Thanks. If I cant get a good answer for an after market sway bar I may have to go with a DA sway bar and see how I like that.

But I really want to use after market sway bars.

the rear end is basically the same across all EDs.

so, ST bar will work with the sedan. no problems whatsoever.

hey i did a look up on sway bars of the ef sedan and hatch.... going with after market really is a waste of money.... your better off with teh DA or CRX si bar... but you need to go with poly bushings for it... thats where the diffference will be felt... i had an aftermarket one on my car and changed to a stock DA and there was no difference between the sway bars and how they perform... if you have everything else done properly then you can save some money and headache and go with the stock ones...

depends.
Front sway bar... for a sedan, I'd run the SI.
For the hatch/CRX, HF all the way...

Rear sway bar, definitely want a bigger bar and the ST is one of the, if not THE, best bar.
ST bar is also adjustable, which is very nice when tuning the suspension.

I was thinking about going st all around for sway bars. would the st bar be too large for the front making for some understeer?

Yes. Just get the rear bar and call it a day.
