Default just put on an si sway bar what now?

well i just put an si sway bar on my dx and i can tell there is a huge difference! now the focus of the weight is in the middle instead of the whole back. now i was thinking how to get rid of the leaning when turning? i'm running on tokico blues + neuspeed but i'm planning to change to some coilovers (skunk2 or ground control) with the tokico but will struts bar in the chassis make a difference? strut bar that connects in the trunk and the strut bar that connects in the engine also will tie bars make a difference also? c-pillar? but thanks for your input!

sway bars are designed to eliminate leaning in turns.. maybe upgrade to a larger front bar. im glad to hear it helped alot, im about to put si sway bar on my dx also. also, strut tower bars made a large difference in my car. the front helped more than the back as far as handling but hte back made the hatch quit creaking as badly over flex in the road. ive also been told the lower rear tie bar helps a ton. btw, ground controls are amazing coil overs, i have a set on stock shocks and love them

what brand strut bars do you have? i'm guessing i should invest in a brand name (neuspeed) front strut bar and probably an e-bay rear strut bar and i was thinking of making my own rear lower tie bar by going to home depot and buy a piece of metal and drill holes btw do you have a stock dx motor? if so how is the clearance for the DPFI intake manifold?

i have ebay front and rear strut bars and they are pretty strong bars. i have dx motor but with mpfi. the front bar (ebay style) will not clear dpfi.. if you wanna use it you can either put washers in the bracket and use a longer bolt or you can convert to mpfi. does the rear of your car feel like it wants to break loose now? did it help the handing very much? thanks

the handling feels so much better on turns, the back feels stable and there is a big difference
