Which sway bars would you buy?
 
I'm looking into Eibach, Suspension Techniques, and Racing Beat sway bars. What do you guys recommend? Is there much of a difference between these? Also must you replace the endlinks when doing sway bars?

at my old work a lot of people liked the eibach...(not on 7's specifically, just in general) and i would definately get the new endlinks...whats the point of doin a half-assed job? i'f you're gonna upgrade the swaybar upgrade the whole thing!

There is also Tanabe.

Keep in mind that from a statement made by a (convertable owner on this forum) that the covertable has equal or a simular diameter set of sways to Racing Beat.

I got mine for free and I'll just replace the endlinks. Replacing the endlinks is always recommended.

Just a FYI.

My friend bought a vert, didn't play to use them (it was trashed), so I asked him for them. I was going to upgrade but I just stuck with the vert sways, you can't beat free!

You may also want to consider Mazdaspeed sway bars, they are the same size as all TII, GTU and GTUs but are solid.

What other suspension mods do you have or plan to add? Whats your goals for the car? The reason I ask is sway bars are typically the last suspension mod conducted.

There are a few factors that need to be considered, which are size (increase from stock), hollow or solid, and grade of metal (usually this is never given). I also feel that most sway bars are oversized or too stiff for most applications.

I'm running Tokico blues with Tein S-springs. Just want the car to stay flatter in corners. Basically want better cornering. Oh one other question. Are adjusable endlinks really necessary?

i'm planning on getting the RB front sway bar personally. i already picked up the RB adjustable end links.
i would leave the rear sway bar stock in almost all cases. in fact in certain situations some even prefer having it disconnected or removed...

Are most sway bars by the companies pretty equal in quality? Is the only difference the diameter of the bars? Also how much of a differnce does say 1-3mm in size of bar make?
