Default Where's the best place to get a rear sway bar?

I'll probably just go with the 19mm.

Default i got mine direct fomr nuespeed. have it on the lightest setting but might kick it up a notch

on the lightest setting it has already helped a great deal in getting the *** end around in the auto x turns, and on the street it feels like the rear wheels follow more tighlty to my intended line.....go for it, but do a search for sway bars cuz some have busted their rear components by going too hevy with the sway...i reccomend trying the lightest setting first, that bar is think...good luck

Default The more tail happy (while being controllable) the better. But I don't wanna go so stiff...

that I crack subframes and crap.

Default just from my feeling, i would agree.......as long as the spring rates in the rear are enough to comp

ensate for the sway bar being there, the aftermarket suspension eliminates the rear sway...but for someone who has springs and shocks built for comfort and lower ride height, the sway i thin can help.......i mean who can stand the wheel gap of stock anyways right>???

Default from recent research i have done...when you get some beter springs (thus lowering it)

make sure you get accompanying shocks...koni yellows come highly reccomended. Or just go full fledged coilovers. the best ones i have head of are h&r and stasis, but they are also very different setups....if you go coilovers, make sure to do some research, good luck.
