Default reduce body roll

I just lowered my eg 1.5", camber kits, Front upper strut brace, and rear lower brace. I don't want to use a rear upper brace because it would interfere with the rear storage lid on the jdm rear cargo area, Unless it is a quick disconnect bar.

I want to reduce the body roll and I am not sure what would be the next best thing to do. Would a c-pillar bar do much? or the traction bars for the front. I had the same setup on my crx as I do on the civic and the crx was like a go-cart around the corners, no body roll at all. I like the way the crx felt so I want to duplicate that in the hatch.

Thanks.

A roll cage is way out of the question, It may be a good idea but not for me. I forgot to put it in my original post but this is my daily driver and has to be able to allow me to get a newborn in and out of the child seat. I do plan on a motor swap, but only doing bolt ons so nothing major in the power dept. but I would still like the handling to feel nice.

strut tower braces only minimally affect body roll. bigger sway bars are what you should be looking into.

I made brackets to put two "stock" sway bars on the front, and searched junkyards
to find the heaviest ones. A car with a rear bar will usually have a bigger bar on the front. High horse power cars will have heavier bars than the base models.

For American cars, cheap heavy sway bars come from station wagons and taxis.-Bob
