Not sure what make and model car you're putting this on but here's my.02

Comptech rear sway/tie bar combo is a nice choice. If you're just getting the rear sway bar withOUT the tie bar... you might as well go to your local Acura dealer and buy a DC2 ITR rear sway and save yourself some $$.
And if you do that... you'll need to stop by Honda to get some '99-'00 Si endlinks and suggest ordering a BEAKS subframe mounting kit.

As for the front... (IMO) - I'd swap out your front lower control arms & shock forks for a set of '99-'00 Si ones - which they say are lighter and stronger and also come with sway bar mounting points. And while you're at Honda... pick up a '99-'00 Si front sway bar or maybe even just a '99-'00 EX sway. Then 1 last stop before you get home. PepBoys/AutoZone or someplace that sells Energy suspension bushings for the front swaybar.

If you already have an EX... then I'd just focus on the rear swaybar first and then test that out with your setup and determine if you want/need a bigger/smaller front swaybar.

My above info comes from the work I did on my previous 99 DX HB. Poor baby got rearended and totaled. She was such a good car.

yep that was me. No problem. Hope everything works out for ya. I'm sure you'll love the set up and grow to want more out of it - as most of us do over time.

for my setup, i'm using a comptech rear tie bar, with a 22mm itr rear sway bar with SI endlinks. i used to have the comptech tie bar, but the endlinks were so noisy that i swapped to a ITR bar.

for the front, i am using a complete CTR 26mm sway bar setup. that includes the LCA's, sway bar, endlinks, bushings, shock forks, and shock fork BOLTS...

with this setup, my car handles really well, and feels very neutral around turns...

im running srr sway/tie combo in the rear.. as for now. ill be running rigid towers front and rear and a jim fab bar up front. ill be swaping the srr bars out in the back for the Asr setup. and its a toss up still between eM racing bars, top fuel 3point pillar or the X in the rear (if i do em or X i wont need the rear rigid tower).
