Yes, I agree that sway bars make the biggest difference as far as handling dynamics. The only real benefit to lowering IMO is stiffer spring rates.
You won't get a normal Integra to be as stiff as an ITR without a roll cage or some other unconventional methods but that doesn't mean that the car can't be fun to drive.
And I agree that holes don't necessarily make something weaker. DC Sports strut bars flux like wet noodles though. I know this through first hand experience. Could be the design or materials....or something else. Who knows. They're just bad functionally but boy are they shiney!
lowering removes body roll
and circles improve tensile strength, they may flex, but that's irrelevant if you have a lower tie.
