Cars Missing Front Stabilizer Bar.. What do i need?

i bought my car about a year ago, (2004 hond civic vp coupe)
i currently have slight suspension modifications to it such as eibach pro springs and front upper strut brace. i noticed while my car was up on a lift that the front stabilizer bar and all the componets of the assembly (links ect.) are missing, i have no idea what i need to buy or where to get it. i dont have alot of money to spend so i was looking to get something used stock or after market. i havent seen one single thing on line that has the entire assembly and to be honest i dont know what or how many parts i need, any help is apreciated but please keep in mind i dont have alot of money to spend.
thanks

You're fine without a front sway bar, removing it is a very popular modification among all tuners who work on front wheel drive cars.

Front sway bar causes understeer, understeer is a joy killer, oversteer is more desireable. Increases roll in corners means you'll have lower entrance speeds, but the increased traction that results from the roll will give higher exit speeds.

Re: Cars Missing Front Stabilizer Bar.. What do i need?

I unhooked mine front sometimes when autoX. weird and sometimes unconfortable at transitions, but the timer said otherwise. 1 sec gain in a 70 sec course, which is a lot.
yeh will not feel that much since the springs are stiffer.
i am now keeping mine hooked because i have the larger rear progress bar and running -1.5/-0.5 camber F/R

In that case, just go to a junk yard, it should be less than $100.

You can use an RSX or Civic bar, but I would try to get the smallest bar possible, which would be from an 03-05 Civic.

You need the brackets, bar and endlinks.

As an example you need numbers 5, 8, 9, 6 (2), 7 (2), 16 (2), 18 (2), and 23 (2): http://www.hondapartscheap.com/index...ponent=KNUCKLE You can get used numbers 5 and 7 but, recommend you buy everything else new.
