Default Need ways to lose the the body roll

So I finally got my civic raised back up with an OEM suspension. the lowering kit I had on there was so rougn it was deteriating the car. So after dropping 150$ for suspension and 300$ for new tires yeah I didnt have a camber kit and I basically killed the tires. Which was what prompted that I had to do the suspension now, in otherwords I had a blow-out coming home a few nights ago. But anywasie on to my question I know strut tower bars will reduce body roll, but will i be okay just to get some ebay ones? I mean they are just a chunk of meetal rod right so cant i just purchase some ebay stuff? And the next would sway bars who should I go with for sway bars? and next is there any other way I can better the handling w/o lowering it? I miss the good handling already and I have only driven it once since it was back on the road. Anywasie please help

What wheel tire combo are you rocking??

Oh, Here is the official product review for e-bay strut bars, enjoy!

I would recommend the full strut bar set, wider wheels/tires will also help

just wondering..if you killed your 1st set, why didnt u just go and buy a camber kit and keep it lowered? but yes, ebay will work just fine, companies like megan are a good choice.

Becasue I live out in the country and there are tons of potholes, and every speedbump is like mt. everest out here. They are P215/45R17 are the tire sizes And the rims are just some nice 17" Amps from Les Scwab. It's funny when I had my 4x4 tacoma sadly there was a few times i bottomed out on speed bumps in that and i was ridingon 31's. But the stiff ride and low ride height was just tearing my car apart.

suspension techniques and neuspeed make front and rear sway bars for civics. new polyurethane bushings are the greatest suspension mod on any old car. the car will ride better will a set of 15 inch rims because of less unsprung weight. eibach springs are availible in like a 1 inch drop too, they are a little stiffer than stock but your car won't scrape
