I'm see prices of $150, 350, and 500+ for new sway bars Just wondering, once on the car will there be a difference in feel? I really only want to spend $200.00, want adjustability, and 19mm for road only. Your opinions please. Make some sense out of this for me. Thanks John |

So, if you are using this as a street car, 19mm is the way to go.
You new shocks will also add stiffness all around, they are gas charged, not oil filled like the OEM shocks and struts. With 180 lb rear springs, I have a 21mm front bar on full soft for the street. I have adjustable drop links that only get adjusted for autox, then remain in one position for the street. Nice part is after many years of playing with my suspension for both street and autox, I marked everything where I happen to like it. Takes me 30 minutes to do the following for an autox Drop rear ride height to autox setting Drop front height Move swaybar drop links to autox setting Replace wheels and tires with autox setup. So, my advice would be get a small bar that is adjustable. I would absolutely advise you to get a front bar, no matter what you are doing. Car does not perform correctly without at least a front bar, even the stock one works. Used stock bars are in the classifieds, and many upgrade to larger bars, so you should be able to find one somewhere. Rich |
