Sway Bars on 98 Prelude
Ok i have been looking into this. I have been reading that most people leave the stock front or even run without a front sway bar. And most have said progress is the best for the rear being the largest and adjustable. So there is no question i want to run the progress in the rear, unless there is something better ?
As for the front being a fwd car it is prone to understeer so would upgrading the front sway bar always be harmful ? Because I was thinking of running a ST in the front but im not sure if it would really help or hurt handling.
As for the rest of the suspension....it would be teamed with Koni yellows and GC coilovers (not sure on the rates prolly around 500/450 or 500/500). Car will be used for drag racing, circuit, and also autox (prolly the least amount though)

Re: Sway Bars on 98 Prelude (kornerk12)
A front swaybar will reduce front end traction. Really, thats the last thing any fwd car should ever want to do.
Now, as to which front swaybar to run, or even none at all, thats a personal preference, and the only correct answer is to get the car out on track and see how it feels to you. Everyone has their own driving preferences and style, and what works for you won't work for the next person. However, I'd stick with the stock front bar for now, and only change it to fine tune behavior.
