Front and rear sway bars would make the biggest difference.

strut and tie bars prevent chassis flex and sway bars(technically anti-sway bars), do just that, prevent body roll. sway bars>strut/tie bars. sway bars are in some cases just as good as a suspension upgrade.

rear...but if u go with a nice thick rear sway bar, u'll want to upgrade the front as well. if u dont, u'll have to much oversteer.

what is the benefit of having sway bars if you are justa daily driver, should i even bother buying them?

or would strut bars be just fine?

And does a 99 civic si oem frontstrut bar fit onto a 98 civic ex?
do you recommend that type of strut bar?
