Default Type R Sway bar vs. Aftermarket

What sway bar should I get for my 97 civic, a Type R EK9 front sway bar, or something like the Eibach Sway bar. I'm not worried about staying all JDM, I just want the improved handling. Which way should I go? The Eibach is obviously much more expensive, but is it really all that much better?

Default RE: Type R Sway bar vs. Aftermarket

yeah, id go with the eibach. most aftermarket ones are stiffer than equal sized stock ones. but having said that, replace the front and rear sways at the same time. they are designed to go in pairs. replacing the front one will cause more understeer, and replacing the rear will cause more oversteer. so to get overall better handling, you need to add both.
