You can also swap the bigger anti-sway bars off of Acuras, bolt on fitment

The kid's considerably more mechanical than his old man. He feels pretty confident that most fixes would be cheap because there are and have been so many Civics around. Used parts would be plentiful and most every mechanic would be able to work on them if he can't get it done himself.
