How many of you have upgraded your swaybars both front and rear? I'm in the process of collecting all the parts for my suspension upgrade and am trying to get some ideas on what to do about the sway bars. Which ones are good? Will the stock ones be fine? thanks

 

my suggestion: buy this guy's setup...

wooot thanks for the lnik
pmed him, mine i hope unless someone else had dibs already....

 

I installed the front RB swaybar and poly bushings - the front/rear kit, bushings included, only cost me $215 CDN (about $150 USD) and while I've not yet installed the rear bar the front one has made a significant increase in handling through corners.

 

you should only need the front bar to make it more balanced. paalos car opnly has the fron sway bar and its bad ***

 

that's why I didn't throw the rear one on

 

wrong damn name says gamble302

 

hate switchin pooters
i was gonna say the rear one might make a good chinup bar maybe?

 

Thanks for the link rx7gslse but thats too much money. Besides, I already have shocks and bushings, i just need springs (eibach) and something in the way of a front swaybar.

 

ok, well that's the common setup for the ultimate handling of a 1st gen.. Just get the Mazdacomp or GC 1 1/8" front bar and chuck your rear bar in the weeds...

FYI, that guy is selling all the stuff I've paid 900 for and about 400 more worth of parts for 650. I'm jealous.

 

If I had money I'd buy that setup, but I'm doing the budget FB handling stuff. Plus I got a really good deal on all the stuff used, so I can't complain. So you suggest not running a rear sway bar at all?

 

Probably depends on whether you like drifting or plowing.

 

I have the ST adjustable rear bar installed right now. My plan is to remove it and put the stocker back on as soon as I can. With that thing on there, the car just puts the ***-end next to you on every corner. Even on the easy turns, it feels like it's gonna lose it. The front is great, but the rear is useless. Bigger is not always better.
