Racing Beat, but your sway bars need to match your overall suspension package right? i think the sway bars should be last on the list of suspension goodies... they complement eveyrthing else.
BTW wormiez, did you get my email the other day i sent to you regarding the AUTOEXE mount pricing and tranny mount availiability?
thanks

Yes I got your email, I forwarded it to my boss who does pricing. I'll remind him about the email.
Thanks

RB ones are nice, but if I remember correctly the rears are non-adjustable. ST, however, has an adjustable rear - I will totally go for ST just because of that. You can fine-tune your car's handling with an adjustable rear bar.
Correct me if I am wrong though (about the adjustable thing for ST)!

If you don't care about cost, you can buy the Racing Beat sway bars, and their end links as well. This permits a level of adjustability. Problem is that they are $63 a pair on top of the cost of the actual sway bars. The RB bars and links together must be a nice match though....

I would get racing beat just because I have liked dealing with them in the past.
Here are some specs (for 1989-1991, specs and prices are from Mazdatrix).
ST Front- 1.0625 in. Rear- 0.750 in. $291.36 for the set.
RB Front- 1.1250 in. Rear- 0.625 in. $237.00 for the set.
For the S5 neither companies sway bars are adjustable, but you can buy adjustable sway bar links from quite a few places. The adjustable links are about $135 from Mazdatrix.

You can buy the suspension techniques set from www.wholesalehyperformance.com i was quoted $229 because they are pricematching the same produce from another website.
BTW on the S4 front made by Suspension Techniques is adjustable. www.stracing.com

I wish I was driving!
Has any of the above posters actually played with the ST "adjustablility holes"? (when using the stock endlinks).
On the front bar, I had two options: Near-neutral handling, or insane oversteer.
I ended up swapping to the RB bars and I like them a lot more.

On the softest setting (both on out), the car would scarily oversteer.
I've since moved them both inboard, and the car is very neutral.
The bar is technically a "3-way adjustable" since there's a middle setting with one side on out and one side on in.
I think stock suspension cars would use the softest setting, but once your suspension gets modded, you need to adjusts them stiffer.
IMO, I would rather take the adjustability over a single setting.
I'm all for supporting rotary vendors, but we don't want to go into how Racing Beat treats it dealers.
