Default 4DR EX rear sway bar questions??

i just got a stock rear sway bar off a 4DR civic ex...yes i know it's pretty damn small..its 13mm in diameter..i was just wondering if anyone has any experiences with this on their coupe or hatch...i know the coupe nor the hatches didn't come with this so i was just thinkin if i put the sway bar on it would at least improve handling just a little...a little improvement is better than nothing right?...so tell me if it's worth the install or am i just wasting my time..thanks guys.
here's a pic of the sway bar:

Is it ever a waste of time to work on your car?
Is any bar better than no bar?
Its one mm away from the GSR bar, and the same as an LS bar.
Is it that bad?

hey...i thought i was the one asking the questions here but you kinda make sense...i have a couple more questions...are LCA from 4dr ex or integra needed for this install or does it bolt on directly?...



and how much do these usually go for at the honda dealer? as you can see...these are all bent up and i need some new ones...

You'll need EX 4dr or 94+ Integ LCA's. The stock ones don't have a provision to mount the swaybar...

How can having a rear sway bar be worse than no bar at all, regardless of diameter?

I just bought the exact same setup, but with the rear discs! the trailings arm fits perfect on hatches right? and will a rear bar w/o a front one be stupid? Don't want to mess up my suspension geometry
