The suspension on the front of 7th gen Civics, Civic SIs, and RSXs are Macpherson strut.

Everything based on the global midsize platform, (Accord, TSX, TL) is still double wishbone. ALso the S2K.
It was a big deal when Honda changed off of its classic double wishbone suspension and to a Mac strut / double combination.

not entirely correct. a sway bar acts on the wheel rate. but only one side at a time. thus if you hit a bump with only one wheel on the freeway the bump will be a lot harsher compared with a thinner sway or no sway.
it will affect a card handling since you are increasing the wheel rate, which is what you are doing when getting stiffer shocks/springs.
in theory if you have a super stiff spring then you wont necessarily need front sway bars, but your ride suffers significantly.
