Swaybar suggestions!

Okay ive searched the forum up and down for an idea of which swaybar to purchase. The most common thing i found was....everyone saying which one they planned on getting but have found very little follow up as to what they bought and how they like it. Im just curious as to which is the moost effective in the 25mm area. Anywhere from adjustability, to materail, to solid or hollow.....So far ive got it narrowed down to three....robi spec......swift......perrin......What do you guys think as far as those...or maybe one that has worked really good for you. Thanks!

Whiteline makes some very good suspension bits. I personally have 25mm rear by them, and endlinks. The fitment is good, adjustability is standard 3 hole adjustability, but it works fine.

Perrin also makes good stuff, and I've had hotchkiss on my old car, they make some excellent hollow core sways, which save some significant amount of weight, in exchange for some torsional ridgidity.

Not a whole lot to go wrong really with a bar of metal either way.

We have had very good results with the Whiteline 24mm adjustable rear sway. It has 3 positions, which effectively correspond to 22, 24, and 26mm settings. For most setups, the 24mm setting feels just about perfect but obviously it depends on your other suspension components and driving style.

I have the Cusco 23mm rear sway bar. 3 position adjustable equivalent 22, 23 and 24mm. I have always run it on the stiffest setting. Works good daily driving and better than stock at the track. If you're doing auto-x, you'd want a bigger bar to really get the car rotating.

+ 1 for Whiteline. When it comes to suspension stuff for the EVO, they have put in a lot of R&D into their products. Can't go wrong w/ them. In addition, they cost for the most part less than the competition.

Perrin and Whiteline are our choices.

Perrin rear swaybar w/ stout mounts have been our best seller!

Whiteline rear swaybar is also a great product.
