Cusco does not make a bracket for the sway bar.

As for the front, you should just keep the stock front unless you are building a full out track car. The labor is very intensive and a larger front sway will create more understeering issue.

Thanks,
Tom

What were you driving before, a railcar?

I can't keep my car straight either, but it has more to do with these damn twisty roads around here. Straight=ditch.

I don't think changing the sway bar changes your alignment, not 100% sure though.

No alignment needed after sway bar.

It doesn't change any of the static settings, just transfers the action from one side across to the other side during cornering.

Not a must by any means, but highly recommended. IMO, the action of the sway bar is not very large, so any loss in transferring that action from one side to the other is not desirable. Stock end links have soft rubber bushings to absorb vibration, but there is not much vibration in the first place from swaybars, so there is some loss during transfer of action for the sake of comfort. Solid end links like the Perrin pieces transfer that action across the car with greater precision and no real increase in vibration.

But that's just me, and I could be wrong. --Brad Pitt - Fight Club

hmmm. ok. a rear swaybar sounds like my next mod. has anyone put a rear swaybar on and then upgraded the endlinks? just wondering if anyone has actually felt a difference with them. i'm sure a lot of people have just installed both at the same time.
