Si sway bar question

Does adding this - back or both, increase stability of the car at all? got an EX sedan, and going over any bumps in the road at high speed make the car feel like im in trouble, but bumps, and turning - say on an on-ramp or along curves in the highway - well that feels really out of control. So anyone whose done a swap or can compare the two tell me if there is a definate improvement?

ALL sway bars are interchangeable, and because the OEM bars are ALL black, nobody in the average motor vehicle inspection center will know the difference between them.

All you need are these I think.
I am also consdering to buy both front & real sway bar.
I am thinking to buy them form http://www.collegehillshonda.com since https://www.hondapartsdeals.com does not ship to Canada.
BTW, I can not find the parts price from www.collegehillshonda.com. Is it just me or is collegehonda's part site not working?
If there is price difference, hopely, our sponsor can match the price:).

^ lol "gogogo"

Strut braces are a good upgrade as well.

In my opinion, adding upgraded sway bars, strut braces, under braces, aftermarket springs, will degrade your ride. But then again, who cares. We're not in to touring models here, nor are we luxo-modding our cars. (aren't we?)
