check out the suspension thread Here
There are only 3 ones to choose from. Also as a heads up, the install is a b@#ch! (I have the Hotchkis) If you haven't done it already I would change the rear first, see how you like it and then consider with replacing the front.

Wait...You want a Strut bar right? I think JQ was talking about the sways.

There are at least 7 front strut bars available. They are listed in that thread. Check the sponsored sales forum to see which one suits your pocketbook and eye.

opps....my bad! Ahh yea the front sway is difficult. As for the front strut, that is very easy to install. Just 3 botls on each side. I also went with the Hotchkis bar on this as well.

Hotchkis/TRD is very light too. ( I actually thought the box was empty when they delivered it )

maybe it was the dc sports strut bar that i got but that thing was a biotch to put in.

it wasn't hard....just a pain in the a$$. i had to remove the windshield wipers and the plastic cover underneath them jus to get to the damn bolts on the strut bar.

man i miss how easy it was to install stuff on my civic.

The DC is pretty burly. The Hotchkis just doesn't look as strong. Both do the trick!
