Sway Bars

i contacted Tri-Point and they said they were willing to make me a front sway bar like the one for the FD, they also said they would make me some koni coilovers, and strut tower bars.. now for the sway bar, this is a stock suspension daily driver and i feel the tri-point sway bar may be to extreme for now atleast.. what other reccomendations would you give for sway bars, front and rear, i am leaning towards the racing beat and suspension tech, and if you guys do reccomend the tri-point bar what rear should i go with?

ive never heard of the tri point bar. i have a racing beat bar on my coupe and the eibach bar on my vert. the eibach bar is thicker but isn't a direct bolt on like the racing beat bar.

Tri-Point FD bars are just Speedway type bars. You can get the same thing from AWR or ISC. For a street car, go with ST, Eibach, RB or the like. Choose based on the given bar thicknesses giving you different balance. To calculate the difference in stiffness, compare the 4th power of the diameter compared to stock.

I have RB bars and they're fine, but if I were to do it again I'd want adjustable ones. Whiteline makes adjustable front and rear bars, but they'll be harder to get and more expensive. The ST S4 front bar is adjustable. The Eibach rear bar is adjustable.
