Front sway bar or not???

What do you guys have? does getting the front sway bar upset the neutral handling...

not that we have neutral handling, but does it make it handle not as good compared to just using the rear bar??

if so why the hell do they make front sway bars...or if you buy one..is it better to have one with less diameter like ST compared to tanabe, or none at all??

little confused...help me out people!

front sway bar makes more understeer. since prelude is FWD car, it tends to be understeer. so, I would suggest you get just the rear sway bar which will help in oversteer to neutral the handling.

I have it in the front and the back. My car is also lowered with Neuspeed sport's. I bought the car with stuff already in it, but my dad has a stock si so I can do some comparising.

The car feels very solid with minimal lean, on dry pavement I can make a ver sharp turn to the point where I have hold on not to slide of the leather seats (slippery). Understeer is also very minimal on dry pavement. When it's wet outside it's a whole nother story, I can just be going straight then just suddently make a sharp twist of the steering wheel and the front tires just slide. And this is on stock rims with Toyo Proxes FZ4 on -1.70 camber in the front. When I drive my dad's Si it feels so clumsy and unresponsive. Every time I make a turn the first thing I feel in his car is lean and then it turns.

I think it would be a great addition of you have rims with wider tires on a lowered car.

Get both. I'm no auto x expert, but after I put Neuspeed bars on both the front and rear, the car handles like a dream... even w/ bad tires. Our stock bars are flimsy as hell...
