I plan on purchasing a rear sway bar kit for my 1997 civic ex coupe and i would like to know if the install process is difficult, and if i should get any sort of reinforcement for said sway bar so i dont tear it out???

here's a diy that i found it helped with mine a lot. beware of seized bolts and i'd suggest getting a reinforcement kit either the beaks or ASR brace, that's what i got http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showt...ay+bar+install

Many people on the site have purchased some ebay bars from bomzracing. They have four of them for less and 100$ and they are not big enough to need to add reinforcements. If you're just looking for a better suspension for your daily driver then I would go with these. I'm pretty sure just the asrsubframe is 300$-600$ just for the reinforcement.

Bomz Racing doesnt sell anti sway bars they sell strut bars, which are entirely different than anti-sway bars. strut bars improve chassis rigidity whereas sways lessen body roll. but anywho would a 22mm bar possibly rip out?
