Alright, I have a 1996 civic hatch. I will have a RM-Spec complete coilover system (when it is ever shipped ), front and rear camber kit, and civic HX wheels with Falken Ziex 412 195/60/R14 tires and now your in need of a sway bar.

I'm pretty much set on Suspension Techniques swaybars for my car cause I don't have to buy anything extra cause everything is supposed to be with the kit. Thats right right? But the way I see it, I can't affort to get both sway bars right now, so which one should I get first, front or rear?

Remember that I have the DX civic hatch model so I have no factory front or rear sway bar, so its not as easy as just getting a factory sway bar and bolting it in. I would have to drill. As far as I know, with the suspension techniques swaybar I would just have to drill two holes in the rear for the rear swaybar and thats it. The front is supposed to just bolt straight up I think.

 

I'm going the same route as u. Going for ST sway bars soon. The front has a kit that clamps around your contrl arm to put the front sway on. the back u have to drill

So should I get the back first or the front?

 

I'd do a rear bar first. I'd rather have oversteer than under.

Very true. Also, if it matters, I have no power steering

 

too bad you got some shat tires...

I'd go w/ the S/T front/rear set in your case.

Ay, I do race every now and then but the tires have to handle snow and rain too, and the Azenis just don't do that

 

The ST rear bar is notorious for tearing out rear subframes though...look for a different rear. I bought the full set and kept the front one and sold the rear (picked up a Skunk 2 rear bar for the same price). Rick

I didn't know that. I think I'll take your advice.
