stock sway bar

[baxsom]

would i see a big difference if i switched out my stock rear sway bar with a larger one
here is a pic of where it connects and the stock one just looks tiny
since i already have one i dont need the conversion hardware to put one in right?

 

[DSMSpyder99]

it would make your car handle more neutral instead of understeer. I would recommend getting the prothane mounts because the stock ones suck

 

[baxsom]

if i am not mistaken doesnt the RM bars come with the prothane mounts?

 

[DSMSpyder99]

yea it does i also reccommend selling the RM front swaybar (which is bigger than the stock) because it will negate the effect of the rear swaybar and cause understeer again

 

[baxsom]

so you are saying keep the stock front bar and just put on the larger rear bar?

hmm
does any company sell just the rear bar so i dont have to spend 300 dollars just to get rid of half of it

 

[Greg Collier]

Yes keep the front stock. There are a lot of companies that just sell the rears.

i found the stillen and the suspension techniques rear sway bar
does anyone know if they come with everything i need for install such as bushing etc
like the RM kit or will i need to get those separate

 

[Greg Collier]

There is no reason why it should not come with everything necessary to install it.

sweet
optionimports.com has the Suspension Technique for 149
seems like a good deal and since i only need to do the rear
an easy mod to perform

i just hope that it doesnt intefer with my greddy evo exhaust

i will take pics once i get it installed

 

[Greg Collier]

Should be no problem with your exhaust. This was the one of the first bars I put on my car. It's a complete set with easy an install!

 

[DSMSpyder99]

there was another thread that says ST bars dont fit with 3" exhaust but it does fit 2.5" exhaust. I would like to know more about the Stillen bars i think im gonna call them tomorrow and find out more about them

 

[baxsom]

i have the original evolution 2.5 exhaust so
the ST bar should fit ok then
if i ever get the 3"
i might have to mod the pipe a little but thats in the future and i may never get it anyway

if you replace one id replace the other as well just some advice that i get from alot of the track guys that i talk to. if you want your car to overstear more than just replace the front. i replaced my rear sway bar on my last car it made the car have a really nice feel to it. i would recomend it. it is on my todo list as soon as i pay off my debt after i had to rebuild my engien . good luck
