Default Couple quick questions regarding EG sway bars

Hey guys I have a 95 Civic DX, had a couple quick questions..

1) Does the DX come with a front sway bar? I don't think so but I cannot confirm, and would it be worth it to install a front sway bar? Assuming I don't have one.
2) Regarding the following link ( http://www.acuraoemparts.com/delray/...All&vinsrch=no ), does anybody know EXACTLY which parts and how many I need to install an ITR rear sway on my hatch? I see the bar itself and the end links, but I have no idea what else I need and the quantity required.

Thanks.

1. Your car does not come with a front sway bar. Since you plan on adding a rear, might as well add the front.

2. Parts list:

52316-ST7-Z00 BUSH, STABILIZER END x2
52308-SS0-000 HOLDER, RR. STABILIZER x2
52315-ST7-Z01 BUSH, RR. STABILIZER x2
52303-ST7-Z00 LINK, RR. STABILIZER x2

Good advice, I'll do both at the same time then. Thanks.

Awesome exactly what I was looking for thanks a ton!

Do you guys have advice on what size front sway bar I should get? OEM, or aftermarket? I was looking at Progress, Eibach, Suspension Techniques, a few others that I can't remember off the top of my head..

I would stick with OEM, since most parts can be pulled off cars and will be cheaper. I ran ITR front and rear on my old hatch. Front bar was a little too big, so I suggest maybe running like an EX bar.

Alright I will definitely look into it. You don't happen to know what I need for a front bar do you? Sorry to keep bugging you, I'll probably need front control arms that are compatible with a sway bar huh? I appreciate the help though!

Everything in the diagram minus the strut fork and the strut fork bolt. QTY is list on the left side. IDK if the non-sway bar compliance bushings have the threaded stud for the nut for the sway bracket.

Subframe brace is not required for 92-95 Civics. A reinforcement mount kit like the Beaks kit will suffice. Subframe brace certainly wouldn't hurt, but it's not required on these cars.

That's what I hear but I think I'd rather be safe than sorry, haha. I was looking at the Beaks SRK mostly because I don't really want a huge shiny piece of metal hanging underneath my car, I prefer a more stock look, but just to be safe I'll just get a brace. Thanks again both of you! Don't know what I'd do without you guys haha
