Swaybar size?

Alright so this past weekend I went on a poker run in the Dallas area and I was able to win a $250 gift certificate for any whiteline product. So I was wondering what I should get as far as sway bars go. I've seen 22mm, 24mm, and 27mm rear bars. I'm not sure if I should just go for the 27mm or maybe I should just be safe and go with the 24mm to eliminate the understeer. Any advice would be great. Also I already know I need the end links so that's covered.

I think Most go with the 24mm. I want to get one soon as well.. I'm just not looking forward to dropping the rear diff to install.

I would recommend for the rear to do the 24mm sway bar unless you are big into auto cross or track days with your car and do actually need the 27mm for an aggressive setup.

For the average spirited driver the 24mm is great and it has 3 adjustment to it as well. It will give it a 23-25mm sway bar feel with the 3 settings. This should also help create a bit more over steer feel for the car when on a track or auto cross

Awesome! Thanks Dallin!

Is the handling like night in day once they are installed? Also will I need to have my car re aligned once they settle in?

No problem sir

If that is the only thing you do you should notice a good difference.

Also doing some different alignment specs should help out with under steer as well

Oh nice. Thanks for all your help! As for now it will be the rear sway bars and I'm also looking at swift springs to finish the suspension part of my set up.

This exactly. Though even for autocross I feel 27mm is really aggressive.

So I just installed the rear bars and all I can say that they are awesome! The car is feeling a lot more responsive when turning and the body roll was reduced a lot!

For anyone who is looking to install this them selfs at home. I will tell you that you will want to drop your exhaust to make things easier when removing to stock bar.

So my sway bars are moving a lot since a my drive yesterday. They have moved about a inch. I was wondering if the lateral locks should have came with the sway bars or should I just order them?
