sway bar is not the same as strut tower bar right?

If you mean the strut tower bars, then the "tri point" style with built in engine torque brace is sweet for the front. Not much difference in the rear strut tower setup excet for thickness/weight and mounting point.

The RB ones come with endlinks and bushings i think.
You need to check the site.

You need to get them based on diameter as they affect handling at different dia.

The racing beat ones are the best that I have seen. I have a set on the way to me. I had a buddy buy the Suspension Tech bars, install them, take a test drive then throw them in the garbage. The fit sucks and the bar is apparently not firm enough. As for the eibach, I really can't say, but they are more expensive than the RB.

I have suspension techniques from mazdatrix and purchased the end links separately. I think they made a huge improvement in roll resistence. The term "sway bar" is a false nick-name given to anti-roll bars. They do nothing to prevent the car from swaying from left to right. They only prevent the car from rolling from side to side on its center axis. I suggest getting any one of the sets that racing beat or mazdatrix sells; they are all excellent upgrades to the stock set-up.

RB.

They come with urethane bushings. The front bar is 1/16" thicker than ST. The rear is 5/8" as opposed to ST's 3/4".
