F/R STB's would be a good idea too.
You got it backward. Leave the front sway alone. The rear sway is what will give you more neutral/oversteer handling. Front sway induce understeer....

Some you can use, but not all since the design of the holes are diff. You can use the old short bolts, washers, Rubber bushings, but not the arm, you'll have to buy a new long bolt for eash side, probably a spacer too. I don't know the size, but you can measure from the holes at each ends of your bar.

VTEC inside Corrected it right, a Heavier and stronger rear sway bar will make you car oversteer and thus easier for FF cars. I noticed that the OEM front bar is still way bigger than the S/T rear though.

I'll check things out tomorrow and inform you guys on th updates.

UPDATE: There weren't anything wrong with the sway bar, the sounds are from the dead coils of my spring clunking together, I cut some of my old water hoses into 2" pieces and wrap 2 on every other coils. No more clunking/squeaking

cripeye, you might want to try same thing I did.

Decibel_DJ, the rear sway bar does help a lot. Since I have an EX, i have both F&R sway bar, I only change out the rear since the Front is still bigger and stronger. I also added the Neuspeed Front Upper Strut bar, it does help some too. Anything else beside those are pretty much useless

Those of you with LX's though, should use the S/T FR sway bar ... the stock bar is smaller than the EX. I believe 22mm vs 25mm. Or just get the EX front sway bar its hella cheap on honda automotive parts.
