Saved my ass on the backroads of Kentucky last year. Tried to bleed off as much speed as possible coming up to a bend that I thought was less sharp, right after a crest. So I trail braked as far into the turn as I could. Instead of understeer shoving me into the fence and promptly fucking my car, I three-wheeled it, the rear kicked out maybe 35 degrees and gave me just enough time to get back on the gas and power out of the curve.
Everybody was like, "Why didn't you upgrade the front, too?" Because that extra tightness will once again bring more understeer into the equation, at least until I get a set of coilovers and get everything set up how I like. With stock suspension in place, a rear sway bar is more than enough by itself.
Damn.
I'm not even running a front bar, bindage issues. lol
You know you have a ridiculous swaybar when you break off swaybar endlinks, swaybar mounts, and break swaybar mount bolts.
My Prelude + Progress rear swaybar with heavy-duty endlinks + R-compounds = scary
With the bar I have on stock struts it will rip the endlink tabs right off the strut. I didn't run the bar long enough with the stock struts (got coils soon after) so I never found out. lol
Again, why go through all this? Find a cheap car to pound around in and be done with it. Buy an Integra, dump it, and throw some wheels on it. Yeah, I know it's not RWD. But, it'll be a fuel sipper, cheap to fix, and super cheap to modify.
The less you spend now, the more you save towards buying a badass car later.

Because I ***** my Integra... I'm not ever buying another.
I want a car that I like, I have the money that I can spend to get one that I like. Why would I not get a car I like. I'm not getting a car that I ****. And have you not read anything I have been saying, an Integra doesn't even fit any of my needs...
