Eibach Pro or RSX sway?

I have a 2005 EX-SE sedan...it's a commuter car (drive 120 miles/day)...overall I'm happy with it but the understeer is annoying...I know tires are #1, but what is #2?

I've only had it since March 2010 - it came with POS Coopers but they were in good shape so I kept them on thru the summer knowing I'd get new ones by winter. What are the recommended brands and models for tires? (need snow/rain capabilities). My last car (04 Civ Sedan LX) I ran General Altimax HP's and loved them...inexpensive and rated high in all categories at TR.

So as for the understeer - is the Eibach Pro kit recommended since its a "balanced" kit? or would i just be better off putting the 19mm RSX sway bar on the rear and nothing else? Ride height doesn't concern me, and although i'd love the whole setup (sways, springs shocks) I'd rather not dump all that coin into it...just seems that although the Eibach rear sway is larger than stock, just seems like the RSX bar is a step up over that.

thoughts?

vote for rsx.
eibach is not enough and if you lower with the springs it will be worse since rear will be around -1.5 camber and fronts 0.

They're as low as $35 for a salvage one here: http://www.car-part.com or about $90-100 at the dealer.
