im guessing you have an ej6 since your in NY? if so you have a few options, you can grab the 99-00 si 26mm swaybar/control arms/shock forks they all bolt up to your car and are the exact same as a ctr 
and for the rear you can get a 19mm rear sway bar from ST or eibach or etc... if you get anything larger make sure to get a subframe kit from beaks/ST/ASR/etc...
i personally have 22mm rear 24mm front and i like it

The least you will need for the front are the HX or EX front LCA's, to run a front bar. These have mounting tabs that the stock lower control arms don't.
If you do get a rear subframe reinforcement kit (which you should with anything larger than a 14mm bar), I recommend the ASR, from king motorsports and others.
Many people like to run a 22mm integra front sway bar for good turn in and less understeer.
For just the street, the size of the rear bar depends on how you like the car to behave. If you just want to tighten the car up, just buy a 13 mm Si rear bar. A large rear sway bar is good for the track as there will be more oversteer, but it can be dangerous for street driving if you aren't used to it, especially in the rain. By large I mean 22mm and up.

i used my stock cx arms
gotta love suspension techniques aka ST it came with some brackets and crap to make it work, you just have to make sure to purchase the bar that says "comes W/O factory bar" Dino is correct about danger in the rain with a large rear bar, i dont dirve my car in the rain, when i have i drive VERY carefully also i drive on R compoud tires all the time

ej6 are all hatchbacks
you can call it an ek if you want, but then everybody is going to think you have a J spec 96-00 civic with a b16a, so you might end up getting some wrong advice, best to use the chasis code you HAVE.
