Default Sway bar setup- good combo?

93 Civic 4 door(completely stock)

For: Daily commute(lots of canyon driving, not afraid of stiff\harsh ride), and some auto-x & road course driving

ASR frame brace
Function7 LCAs
Function7 Adj endlinks
Skunk2 22mm Sway bar

Also, any good suggestions for a front sway bar that will work well with this rear setup?

Thanks.

Never heard of Function7 LCA's. Why not just buy the sway bar that comes with the ASR kit? I don't really see a need to upgrade the front sway bar.

ASR kit with sway bar is 500.00+ and I can get the Skunk2 bar at wholesale.

Just upgrade the front spring rate. Anything over 600lb front springs really cancels out the need for a front swaybar.

Thanks, that saves me from having to track down front LCAs for a swaybar.

The asr brace is excellent, but a little pricey (remember youre getting something that isnt mass produced really)...I love mine. If youre going with the asr brace you might as well just go with the itr 22mm rear bar rather than the junk2 unit.
Stick with stock endlinks - theres nothing wrong with them and they dont make a lot of noise either.
You dont need lca's - stock ones are just fine.

The ASR kit with the 22mm sway bar is only for 96-00 and it's only $340 + shipping (It's the 32mm hollow sway bar that cost $500+). Only the brace is available for the 92-95.

What makes a Skunk2 bar junk? It is designed after the type-R bar afterall.

I need LCAs, because my stockers lack the one thing I need, mounting points for the swaybar.

Adjustible endlinks will be handy when I switch over to adjustible coilover.

Too each his own I guess, never had a skunk2 part fail on me or come accross as made poorly.
