Default strut/sway bar setups... what is everyone running?

I gotta work on the handling of my EG, it is currently bone stock and handles like a one of those cars that cost a quarter to ride in out front of grocery stores

I'm thinking of getting a Neuspeed front upper strut bar and maybe just a typeR style rear strut tower bar
underneath I need some rear LCA's that have mount points for a sway bar and then I'll probably end up with a conptech 22mm sway bar/tie bar kit

up front I might put on the SIR2 front sway bar that I got with my motor but that might come later

pics of your setups would be cool as well

totaly depends on what your looking for and how much you want to spend.
$$$s always one of the factors that most people use to help figure out what they will buy.

But then again im a moogen *****!

Nice! I use a Neuspeed front strut tower bar, Cusco front tie bar, and a Progress rear anti-sway bar. All this coupled with lowering springs and Koni Yellows. Not much but it's alright. Nothing spectacular, though, but much better than stock.

Front and rear upper strut bars.

Rear swaybar and tiebar.

KYB AGX's set 1 front/4 rear.

Tein S-Tech springs.

Putting a swaybar on the front just adds to the understeer.

Hey, i got my carved pumkin in the avatar too! too bad i carved it the second week of oct and it turned to mush by the time halloween came

anyway,
ek cx with kyb agx paired with H&R race... still in the building process

ek hx, tokico blues w/ OG skunkworks coils, neuspeed upper strut.

both cars handle well, but im starting to like the how the hatch handles with the spring/shock combo.

comptech combo owns me. and i have neuspeed front tower, carbing lower tie, carbing rear tower, and 4 point pillar bar. my tires are stock tho...so my handling is only so good...

strut bars dont really matter, as they all do the same thing. just dont get one that is adjustable, they definately not as strong.

other than that i think a lot of people like carbing 3 point, but there are issues with it hitting the brake resivour
