Exclamation True HElp needed!

In need of some honest help. I have a 93 4dr.LX 5 speed with the d16z6. I know its not the best of the best but it serves its purpose. I have a few questions and ready to get started doing some other work to help my car perform just in need of some assistance... Any help?

Sure! But unfortunately, our answers would seem kind of random since you didn't ask a question.

The D16Z6 was not stock in the LX, someone has upgraded it. Maybe you already knew that though.

You can find sway bars all over the internet. The best place I've found so far is Import Replacement Parts(Import Replacement Parts | Import Performance & OEM Parts). If I were you, I would install shock tower bars first before the front sway bar. Also, install a rear lower tie rod. The least expensive one I've found was from NRG Innovations.

If you wanted a stiffer ride, you should have gone with Koni Sport Shocks (yellow) with adjustable stiffness. These also allow you to lower the car by an inch. I had those on a 94 Civic (before it was stolen) with stock springs and they were awesome. Now, I have them on my 97 Civic Ex without lowering. I'm not a fan of coilovers at all because of the bounce.

No, one of these: NRG Lower Brace - Titanium 2 Point - Import Replacement Parts, LLC

There's nothing wrong with stock control arms.
