general questions inc. rear sway on a dx
 
ok. so i have a dx. no rear sway right? i don't wanna crawl under the car at this time of year and night but i don't think the dx has one. my question is two part. can i get one mounted easily?

if not, is it easier to set-up the suspention other ways like stiffening the rear or loosening the front?

my car handles pretty good, but with the great road feel, i don't think it is bad to stiffen the suspention up a bit. what spring rates are factory specs (es and non-es) and what S.R. are good for this car for what kind of driving? i read in the faq about a scca trunk kit for the 2nd gen pro's. i noticed the rears are really really stiff compared to the fronts. the car does push a lil hard in the corners...

i plan on going to a mild 14" (185/65's) but now i'm thinking, why not have a lil fun. i could go 15" with 205's and get a bling blingin suspention setup. the dx is ltwt so i will handle the twistys as well as a front driver can. but then i am putzing around on 93 flywheel hp... on a good day. anyhows i am rambling now... just thinking out loud.

i'll probably will go to 14" and get a rear sway if that is possible cuz then i can auto-x in stock class i think and keep it as a "nice" daily driver car as opposed to a harsh, purpose-built project car. but i wanted to go other opinions and options as well.
