Default Suspension question: Rear swaybar on stock struts/springs?

I currently have an 94' Si (EX) coupe, and like the ride quality with the stock shocks. However, I would like to reduce the body roll a bit, with the goal of maintaining the stock ride feel.

I was considering just getting replacement rear LCA's, and adding a sway bar. Is this recommended, and will it be effective for my goals?

I am looking for only modest reductions in body roll.

my friendd did that on his integra and the part that connects the sway bar to the lca broke because it put too much stress on the bar but maybe that was because of the way he drove but yeah thats what happaned stock struts w/ rear sway bar

THat would depend on what sway bar he had, right? I.e., if you use a thicker sway bar, it adds more stress, if I understand correctly.

I would only be using a modest sway bar.

yes, you can do it, and yes, it will help out with what you are looking for...

I assume that the car doesnt have a rear bar right now, correct? (just like my 93 si hatch)\

the bar makes a big improvement. IMO

Yes, I do not have a rear bar.

My goal is to improve body roll without having to change ride quality of stock shocks/struts.
