So I take it no front sway bar?
Do you like oversteer?

With a rear sway bar and noithing in front, you'll have more oversteer, which can be tricky and can get you into trouble pretty quickly.

I sugesst looking for a stock sway bar maybe 13mm or bigger to start. Or ctr/itr or 24mm and asr brace

Ex's did come with front 22mm sway bars from factory.As did hx/lx. No hatches or dx's did.

Si's were the only ones to come with a rear sway bar.

if you opt to use the 22mm sway bar in front you can use the back half of the ex/lx/hx control arm or swap the entire thing. Its up to you. The back half is easier to swap btw.
