sway bars

hey guys...just want your input on this....im currently saving up for some sway bars...but debating whether i should get some used front and rear used out of a TII or shell out a few(not really) extra bucks for the racing beat front and rear sway bar package....or if there are any other vendors out there that carry em.

it really depends on what you are planning to do with your car, if you are planning on getting heavily into autox and road racing i would say shell out the extra bucks and get a performance part from a place like RB. Other than that i think a set of used TII sway bars would make enough of a difference to make you happy for the time being.

If the money doesn't matter (and it's not too terribly much) then just do it right the first time. You'll never regret buying the best!...at least that's the idea.

I thought I remember someone saying the ST bars are a little stiffer in the back than the RB ones (or was it the other way around?).

the RB bars are CHEAP...they're 97 bux per bar and they're direct bolt in. The RB bars (and all their other stuff) were engineered SPECIFICALLY for RX-7's...always remember that..
