sway bar and lca's help please
 
the suspension set up I am going for right now:

KYB Gr2 struts and Tein S-tech springs buying in 2 weeks possibly

I have a ebay front and rear strut brace bar and front and rear tie bar not installed yet.

after the springs and struts I plan on buy the ASR sway bar kit. After that I will get a H Brace

Now my questions are

Should I get a front sway bar also and what size? The asr rear sway bar is 24mm I think.

Should I get new LCA for my car or will my stock ones be ok to use? This car is dd and weekend track car.

Would this set up be worth it for backroad twisties and track days?

I am not trying not to go super cheap but stay reasonable for my pocket.

thanks in advanced and I hope I was detailed enough in what I am trying to accomplish

For a rear sway bar you need LCAs with bolt holes for endlinks on them. There are several OEM Honda LCAs that have these, but I need to know what car you have to be able to tell you which ones you can use. You can use aftermarket ones too, they're "pretty" but they're also pretty expensive.

Just letting you know that once you put the H brace on it will take place of your rear lower tie bar, atleast thats as far as i know. But i'm 90% sure

Don't buy the H-Brace, waste of money.

Leave the front swaybar stock.

I believe even the LX's have mounting holes for the swaybar endlinks. If that's the case you wont need to buy new LCA's.

That setup will be fine for some fun. Best place to spend money for handling is tires. If you actually track your car, get some good rubber before spending money on all that stuff.

I have an 02 Civic LX sedan, and pondered about the LCA's myself. I want to replace em, but the OEMS look much sturdier than the SPC's and I heard those bend. This post answered some of my questions.
