so im in the process of suspension modding...

so far ive installed a front upper strut on the EX. car is daily driven and just want to reduce body flex for tighter steering and more advanced cornering around the city and making freeway exits more enjoyable. so whats the next suspension piece i should look into and why?

i have a rear upper strut but not installed yet. im on aftermarket springs and factory struts. i dont plan to change them though, i can live with harsh rides. just need "add-on's" to help reduce body flex/roll.

i got good all season tires, no more firestones.

would an rear sway bar be more effective than a anti-roll bar? which would be a better investment considering price and affectability?

rear sway bar = anti-roll bar. A larger rear sway bar will help to reduce the amount of understeer during a turn. Depending on what year your car is, going to say the 19mm rsx rear sway should have a good effect on handling.
