Suspension w/o lowering

I've got an '01 Civic Coupe, and I'm looking to make the suspension a little bit stiffer and reduce roll but without lowering the car. I'm thinking the Eibach Sway bars, but it seems that all springs are lowering. Are there any that aren't, or would high-performance shocks stiffen it up enough? If there's anything else I should know, please let me know!

Thanks in advance,
Zach

RE: Suspension w/o lowering

you can get some sway bars and strut bars to reduce body roll.

get thicker rear sway bars and/or get adjustable struts.

tokico illuminas, KYB AGXs or Koni Yellows are a good start.

rear sway bar, strut tower bars.

maybe shocks and coilovers with stiffer springs, but have the perches all the way at the top?

I did what you are talking about with an Accord. I replaced the OEM struts with Tokico HP and installed Suspension Techniques front and rear anti-sway bars.
Adjustable struts would have done the same thing if you cranked up the dampening.

I would also recommend polyurethane bushings in the suspension parts.
