suspension setup question
Right now my suspension setup consists of
PIC apex coilovers 12k/10, nrg h-brace,
asr subframe brace with 24mm swaybar, f7 lcas
and skunk2 front/rear camber kit other than better tires and brakes
i still feel like a get a little body roll around turns or maybe its my tires
would i see anything else with getting front/rear strut bars and a front sway bar?

front sway bar
that doesn't the body roll will disappear. Will decrease however, but won't disappear.
For the strut bars, they will not make ur car to roll less, but make handling input more rigid. Strut bar is there to make ur car's body more rigid. In racing world, they do this properly by welding their car in numerous locations. think of strut bar as poor man's body reinforcement. that's why people saying strut bar is not doing much becaues you won't feel that much of difference. But for me, strut bar is a must have option.

For most of us (those that value traction), the smallest bar we could find (or no front bar at all). I'm still using the stock 24mm GSR front bar, but would love to upgrade to a nice 19mm (I believe thats the smallest OEM bar that fits a DC2 chassis).
Now, the rear of the car is an entirely different story. I'm almost ready to mount a chain link fence post back there, cause even my Comptech 22mm set to the stiffest setting ain't cutting it.

yes you can use one from coupe, sedan or watever as long as it is from 96-00 civic. your car is 96-00 hatch right? then ya.
even ITR will fit on 96-00 civic, as long as you have front LCAs from one of the non-si civic with stock sway in front.
I am running 26mm front 22mm rear both from CTR. The front sway from SI is same as the one from CTR. I love how it handles
I dont recommend people to run sway bar only on the rear. It would logically make car turn better with making oversteer. However, IMO, turning the car is depends on the grip of front tires, meaning the front half of the car should be rigid so it can withstand the flex/twist watever you want to call it.
Running only with rear will hop the front and result in understeer. Decent tires with proper front&rear swaybar + coilover setup (ie height difference front and rear, spring rates, strength of damping) would make car handle much better.
it is all about total balance

ie SI front LCA + SI sway bar + SI shock forks
or
EX front LCA + EX Sway bar + your stock shock forks</TD></TR></TABLE>
thanks bro
