should my 92 ex sedan have sway bars?

Hi there, my 92 ex sedan does NOT seem to have any sway bars, i know for sure on the rear it does not - but shouldn't i have it on the front?

Hmmm..i've lowerd it 2" and i have 17's on, and it handles well, but i find the transition from one turn to another is unstable...this would be a sway bar problem wouldn't it?

How can i get LCA's? aftermarket?

just get SI front LCA's and buy a sway bar kit thats designed for a car without a rear factory bar. My suspension techniques kit was designed for a car without a rear factory bar so you don't need rear LCA's with a hole in them for the endlinks.
I'd have to say that the sway bar kit i bought made the biggest difference in handling of all of my suspension mods. Totally worth every penny. My EX coupe came with a factory front and no rear, now my rear is as large as the factory front one was and the front is even bigger. The kit also came with polyurethane d-brakcet bushings and endlink bushings.

do you mean to get a kit for a car without a rear sway bar simply so i don't need to get one? or because it will be stiffer? and then is there a way to get a rear sway bar without changing the rear LCA's?

And can i change the front lower control arm myself (i'm fairly capable)? where would i get them? is there a better aftermarket set available? (lighter maybe?)

i mean get a kit that was designed for a car without a rear sway bar so you don't need to change the rear LCA's b/c it was designed to work with LCA's that don't have the holes for the endlinks.
You should be able to change the front LCA's if you're a do-it-yourself'er. I don't know if the make aftermarket front LCA's, i've only ever seen rear ones, but i've never really looked into it much b/c the stock ones do me just fine.

My 93 LX sedan did not come with swaybars.
I got Integra front and rear LCA's.
24mm front bar from zeeman
13mm rear bar from civic18
Car handles great.

thanks for all the help - and if stock one's work, i'll stick with them...any idea how much i should pay for a pair of front LCA's? and where's a good place to get them? Aren't there bushings involved? do they come with the bushing in them or not?
