Front & Rear Swaybars

Front & Rear Swaybars - Smike Please Help!
Just bought an '06 EVO and it rides like a boat so I want to address the suspension. Currently has red F&F coilovers and based on several threads on here, I'd like to install Bilstein B6 shocks and Swift Spec R's. It is a DD but I want to get into the solo uno and circuit scene so hence the Spec R's instead of the Sports (hope I made the right decision)
THe car DOES NOT have a rear sway bar so I need to buy one and I'm looking for first hand suggestions from people running the same suspension. I also need opinion on keeping the OEM front bar or swapping it out but i"ve read they are a pain to replace.
Smike I know you are running B6's with Swift Sports - have you tried them with the Spec R's? I also tried sourcing the Swift rear swaybar but understand they are no longer available...

Curious what happened to the RSB?
In any event, a simple 24mm Whiteline will work. There are other bars that will work well (just dont go too large / 24mm is a good spec)
Keep the FSB stock. Most hard core racers / HPDE'rs run the stock bar. You could always go for the front cusco lower FSB bracket if you like (that will give some rate change)
Your strut & spring choice seem OK for sure unless you want to go coilovers

Best bet, pick up a 24mm Whiteline bar or the hotchkiss bar if you want it a little lighter and softer. The bottom setting on the 24mm is about the same as the top setting of the hotchkiss. I think there's one for sale here (Kaj maybe?). Add the adjustable brackets to the front and you'll be doing good for a street setup.

Also need a rear sway since my car has none right now and I'm leaning towards the Whiteline 24.

Bought Bilstein B6 shocks and had purchased a set of Switft Spec-R springs but I cancelled the order because I'm not sure if they are too tight for a daily. Looking at Switft Sports unless someone convinces me the Spec-Rs will be fine with these shocks.

I just reviewed the rates on the Spec-R's and the rates are: 6.4K/6.8K. The Sport springs are: 4.8K/5.7K
Stay w/the Spec-R's. Most of our members who run springs vs c/o'rs use them. Heres the site if you want to see the values: http://www.swiftsprings.com/products...prings-spec-r/

All the answers you need can be found by searching, but since everyone has a different perspective on "good" you should try a few options to see what suits you.
