Default Sway Bars or Not?!

Hey guys,
I’m looking into getting a 98 Honda Civic sedan DX for highway battles, I heard that they don’t factory come with sway bars. Is this true or not? And if not how can I put sways bars on the vehicle for more stability?

Car clubs,gangs,groups, clans, etc racing on a vary long street. The goal is the first one that out runs the other car wins. There is not time attack or measurable of distance of the race. Vary similar to Wangan midnight on C1.

I'd honestly be more concerned with not knowing the difference between "very" and "vary".

Sway bars will help with body roll and/or weight transfer. In a straight line, I don't think you are experiencing much of that. If anything, grab a stock sway bar from another civic, maybe an Si, Sir, or Type R and run with that.

Surprised this thread hasn’t been locked for blatant reference to street racing.
