Civics tend to understeer to some degree. Getting a large one would only enhance this condition. I installed just the rear sway and now it's almost neutral (i.e. almost no understeer).

a rear sway is still not a bad option

A larger rear sway bar will reduce understeer (pushing/plowing into the road) and will help the car oversteer (swing the rear end out). Although the car is FWD and it will be difficult to swing the rear end out the rear sway bar will help in reducing understeer.

30mm front sway bar...damn!!! I don't know, why not get it? Stock the Si was 17mm in the rear and 27.2mm up front 10mm difference, if you upgrade to the progress rear sway bar that is 22mm and you think that its a little too stiff get the 30mm front anti-sway bar. The differnce will be 8mm. So... you increased the rear by 5mm and the front by 3mm, so you should still be more prone to oversteer compared to stock.
Personaly I say go for the Carbing front upper strut bar, if you feel the above case relates to you.

I like my set-up on my 07 LX.
- I have the rear Si sway bar, and the Carbing front upper strut bar. It feels very balanced and neutral.
However I'm contemplating upgrading to the front Si bar (25.4mm to 27.2) and upgrading the rear to a 22mm Progress sway bar. (up from 17mm, solid)

the rear is a good upgrade but the front is not such a good idea.

I think he has the stock all seasons, which have pretty bad traction, although, to be fair they are all season tires that supposidly should last pretty long
