No the sway bar should not affect alignment. The camber arm and the toe bolts are the only things that affect rear alignment.
unless the bar is binding badly... Take endlinks out and try to move the bar up and down. it should move freely if not connected to suspension in the ends. If resists movement, grease bushings. if nothing else helps on freeing bar, trim bushings (extreme action, though...)

Do you want to reduce chassis flex or body roll? They are two different things solved by two different types of parts.

I am planning on installing a front brace, but not sure how to setup the suspension afterwards. You commented that it added understeer, so it means i will need to soften the front suspension?
What suspension changes did you do before taking them out? did it not affect the results at all?
In the meantime, i do autoX
Then scratch any and all of those multi-point chassis braces off your list of things to buy. Unless of course you like competing in classes you have little chance in winning.

"I know Solo only comes one minute at a time, but what an intense, non-stop, fast-forward car control exercise minute it is. Sure, the velocity is higher in road racing, but inside the car it is slow-motion in comparison. In Solo, the turns come like machine-gun rounds. "

already a underdog DSP...
modded car before starting to run autoX...
Have a stock miata now, since civic is already so fun to drive, but not competitive... Don't plan on taking the civic back to stock (springs, shocks, rear sway, CAI, etc... too many stuff already in to take out...)
I have an LX which has no rear bar and has a 22mm front bar, if I'm not mistaken. I want to reduce understeer and not have to worry about snap oversteer. Would a 24 mm rear (paired with stock 22mm in the front) be too large?
rsx bar anywhere, ebay, this site, clubrsx, people always selling em. you can use the stock endlinks but i prefer the dezod.com upgraded version. thats all you really need. now this is assuming your car already has a sway bar installed. if not, its alot more work and parts. and yes 3mm makes a huge difference.

No, my car didn't come with rear sways....so what am I looking at for the extra parts and work? I was under the impression if i got the ASR brace everything would bolt up properly
