I have read mixed reviews on the funtion of the rear sway bar in our cars. My question is :
Will getting an after market sway bar help the rear end from drifting out during hard cornering? The specific after market sway bar I am looking at is the Suspension Techinque Adjustable sway bar. I already have a RB front sway bar installed. Does anyone have the Suspension Techinque Adjustable sway bar in his car? If so, I appreciate some feedback....Thanks

Just disconnect the rear sway bar end links and that should help you with the oversteering problem.

Are you using stock springs?

I am installing the tokico HP and the racing beat springs this weekend. I have an opportunity to purchase a used suspension technique adjustable rear sway bar for a good price. I am wondering if it is worth it?

 

The stiffer the rear bar is,the more load is placed on the tires to hold traction.Most people agree that the stock bar is enough,if not too much, due to the 1G's oversteering tendancies.I tried it without the rear bar,but didnt like the wallowing feel.So I kept the stock rear bar and added poly bushing to it for the sake of doing something back there.If you run big rear tires,then the stiffer rear bar might be worth it, since youll have more grip back there.
I also run Tokiko blues and RB springs with the RB front bar.The 245-17's in back dont let go easily,so I might try a stiffer bar in the future,but for now it handles quite nicely, unless I stab the loud pedal mid-turn.
