Default suggestions on brands for strutbars/swaybars

well i have a 95 civic coupe, and i'm just trying to get ideas on what brands make good strutbars/lower tiebars or swaybars. I had thought about shelling out the extra money and getting all spoon strut bars, but i'm more concerned with the sway bars.

I was leaning towards getting the S/T speedtech rear sway bar with lower tie bar combo, but i had read complaints about that brand due to fitment issues.

another question i have. I know alot of the suspension parts between the 5th gen civics and 94-01 integras is interchangeable. On that note, would the comptech sway bar from a 94-01 integra work on my civic?

thanks for the help

em racing has some nice setups for the rear, but i don't think that they have anything for the front...you'll have to check. http://www.emracing.com

EM 's bars are crapolla.

If you are that serious about stiffening the rear area of the chassis get a custom rollbar made.

no passangers in the rear, cost depends on where you go, how much material you use, etc

what do u need a roll bar for? are u going to be doing any Autocross events? Or are u just getting things just because? a bigger front anti-roll bar will cause understeer, if you want better handling go with a rear anti-roll bar from suspension techniques, eibach or the ITR rear bar like I recommended. Try not to waste money on things you dont need.

well, here's what i'd like to do with the car..

i'd like to beef up the suspension as much as possible right now, then when i turn 18(about to turn 17 in a few days) my parents say i could then do an engine swap. so after that, i'd like to start taking my car out to roadcourses and what not. Until then, i'll probably go ahead and do autocross once i get an alignment and put my rims/tires back onto my car.

thanks for the suggestions everyone
