A lot of older cars didn't even come with rear sway bars. It's not imperative to have one but as it's been stated it does affect handling and stability.
That said, on the tiburon forums, it's a known issue that upgraded sway bars have a tendency to break the tabs on the struts (endlinks get mounted to the struts on the tiburon). A member on the forums just built new, stronger, thicker tabs that we weld back onto the stock location.
Personally I had new tabs welded on and upgraded my endlinks to fully adjustable KJBs so I couldn't complain any more. It's good to know that they break on civics too. I'll probably contact KJB for beefy endlinks and that tib member for new tabs that fit the civic.
