Sway bar kits

I want to stiffen the roll characteristics of my TSX (leaving the rest of hte suspension alone as I do not want to affect the ride height). I understand most kits only supply a rear bar, the idea being the TSX currently understeers too much and a rear bar will correct this. My thing is, I want to not only change the yaw characteristics of the car but also the static roll. I want both a bigger rear AND front bar (this kit will probably have an even stiffer rear bar than the rear Comptech bar, for example).

Do these kits exist or am I pissing into the wind with this search? Anybody with the standard rear kit: have you noticed any difference in the car's attitude IN the turn under static load, in terms of how much roll is loaded up? I know that you will obviously experience turn-in and "RWD-like" handling characteristics and that's not what I'm interested in hearing about...

thanks for your help,

Hmmmm... wish they had rubber bushings like the Comptech... squeaky, squeaky!

Thanks... any more recomendations to look into?

Also, do you happen to know what the stock sway bar diameters are?

thanks,

Just use the poly bushings and some lube.

neuspeed is 19mm, comptech 23mm.

I don't remember the stock one, but its pencil thin, search for its diameter.

Oh cool! Sounds like the neuspeed is ideal if I want to use the front, too...
