Front sway bar?

So, I have a 2004 TSX and I just recently put the A-Spec suspension and a CT rear sway bar on it. I was just wondering how necessary is it to put a front sway bar? How much better would it make my suspension, if it does at all?

IMHO, it's not necessary. The CT RSB is needed to tighten up the rear... add some coilovers and/or better tires, and the car has a really neutral feel to it, including better turn-in. If you put a thicker front sway bar on, I would think you'd increase the TSX's tendency to understeer again.

I'm with Amadeus303 on this one, there's no real need to put a thicker FSB. And to be honest, they're a PIA to install!

Save some money for better tires, and maybe even some good brake kits.

Cool.... One more thing, if I were to get coilovers, what brand should I get? I've already upgraded my brake system and i just finished buying some really good Michelin sport tires, so I wanna really focus on my suspension so, any suggestions?

There's a reason we replace the OEM RSB with a thicker one: to reduce understeer.

If you go ahead and replace the one up front also, then you negate the effects of the RSB.
