swaybars

I have front swaybar bent , so I guess this is the right moment to consider upgrading it.
I've read though, that some of You would stick to factory one and prob. I'd lean towards it.
what are your recommendations:
stock or cusco or something else?

how about rear swaybar? for primarily street usage on bumpy roads with some visits to the racetrack/autox?


thanks.

Stick to the stock swaybar, upgrade to the 25mm (EDIT: Rear) swaybar from Road Race Engineering. You will make your car more "neutral" and less prone to understeer that way, which obviously will help you on the track.

It is not worth upgrading the front bar unless you have a well setup set of coil overs. If you do upgrade (assuming stiffer) you will not have a balanced car unless you do other mods to compensate.

BTW -- swapping the front bar is a PITA

I have to replace the front anyway, thats why I even consider getting something else than stock. as I can see, there is no reason... I will get new OE one...

I don't think i would ever have coilovers unfortunately, due to very bumpy roads in city where I live and will daily-drive it . To get the coilovers to work properly in such conditions I would need 1) a very good=expensive and multi-adjustable set. 2) it would be great hassle to adjust them to such unfriendly environment. and I guess the stock suspension is doing just fine in these conditions
