yes i want a more planted rear and less body roll. im starting to autocross and drive more at the track. i was up in deals gap and it broke loose 4 times on me... and on autocross ill need it solid all around. is the comptech kit good? front and rear? its like 70% stiffer up front and 120% or something in the back... i want my car to sit almost completely flat...
Second of all, the car stock has far more potential than many drivers...seriously. Take some track days with a decent company.
If you are going to SCCA autocross, then there are many rules with significant consequences. Talk to folks in the racing page.

if you're looking to get rid of oversteer, or "broke loose" DO NOT get a stiffer rear sway bar.

alright well count the rear out, but a stiffer front will help keep everything planted better? and when i say broke loose i mean the back end lost traction and started to slide... so a tanabe is a decent bar? get a good front one and ill probably be set with that? and looking at the tanabe bar, it is only 20mm in diameter... isnt that kinda small? stock arent they 27 or 28mm? so how would this help roll? couldnt that make it worse?
and what about the strut tower bars with the X fram that attatch all the way to the bottom as well as the struts? and the spoon X frame that goes udner the car? does the car already have one or is that just a replacement?

The tanabe bar is not 20mm it's 30.? but it's stiffer than stock, this will help keep the rear more planted if you get the rear bar your not going to be too happy, just trust everyone you don't want a rear bar a front bar will do you just fine and if you don't like it then get the rear,as for teh strut tower bars they don't do much I have the 4pt. x Tower bar and I noticed it was a little stiffer, but very very little, so it's not worth in imo and the X brace I noticed on mine the only difference is when you go over bumps it's less harsh and that's about it.
I've had the tanabe front sway bar on since christmas time and was able to feel the difference, car changes direction super quick now, It's not the most radical setup but I like a bit of oversteer. Other sways seemed too aggressive for me

I suspect under certain circumstances I would get wheel lift though.
