Suspension Techniques Rear Sway Bar on a 2g Fitment Question

[slipstream808]

Yup that's about the most descriptive title I've ever made...

Well anyways I'm thinking of getting the ST one. My heart is really set on it but you read about fitment issues. BTW this is on a 2g GS-T. Now I keep looking at my exhaust and I'm thinking "how would it not fit unless its not in the stock location." Here is a pic:

I mean unless the bar were like 3-4 inches big how wouldn't it fit? BUT I'm not risking 200 bucks on an item I probably cannot return as its special order so I'm asking if anyone with personal experience would know.

FYI it is the VRS 3" SS exhaust that I have. As always, thanks guys!

From the looks of things yes. I helped install a ST sway bar on a 2g AWD and it doesnt fit with a 3" exhaust.

But being your exhaust goes underneath you should not have a problem. The nice thing about the RM sway bar is that it is thinker than the ST bar.

Well the (rear) FWD bar is thicker on the ST one than the (rear) FWD RM sway bar. But the AWD RM bar is thicker than the ST one. ST makes no difference between GSX and GS-T front or rear bars.

If there is no fitment issues with using the RM rear AWD bar on my GS-T than I'd much rather do that than the ST bar.
