Default running eibach rear sway, run a sway bra brace?

have a 2000 ex clone(everything besides rear disc setup). lowered on tokico. anyway, its running a eibach rear sway bar without a subframe brace. Good investment on a subframe brace? im sure fixing subframe is not easy, i drive spirited, around mountain roads, but no racing or anything like that.

Is it the 17mm sway bar? If so you don't need a subframe brace.

what sucks is i bought the car with the parts already installed. P.O. did some stuff ok, bu car has dings and si interior has cig burns, so that sucks. also the 99-00 ex bumper was cut for si fogs so kind of a hack job once you pull the covers off. basically what im saying is i guess i need to go get the part number , because im unsure, and i wanted to be better safe than sorry. nice guy though and he was on the right track.(sorry had to put that in there, i see nothing but members bash P.O.s about the car they now own, kind of an oxymoron right?)

If you go up in the 20s mm, then you would need a SUB FRAME brace. And trust me , makes your car super rigid with just using a sub frame.

I bought a 24mm and im actually putting it on today but i have had my brace on for two weeks now and it makes a big diff. CanT imagine how it is going to feel when i put the 24 mm on. It is going to be NASTY.
