Online info shows the ST front bar for the S4 is 28.5mm and the S5 front bar is 27. Their rear bar is 19mm though, which is bigger than the RB, Eibach or Tanabe rear bars (not that you'd really want a larger rear bar in most cases).

You can't real go wrong unless you mix and match different brands. A front and rear set were designed to work good together. As far a getting a good drift set up? Well not to many of us actually drift are cars on a regular basis. Only Angery Earl does that I know. He might chim in.

if you wanna drift. I BELIEVE you want the least amount of traction in the back, and the most in the front. which means the strongest **** in the back, and not so much in the front. massive springs and struts in the rear, swaybar etc. But yeah, you don't want to mix your component makes too drastically.
I'm no pro, I could be wrong, but, just some insight.

Thumbs up

Tanabe sways are great, and will most likely eliminate some/most of that body roll you speak of.


For drifting, like most other motorsports, you really want to have a balanced suspension setup...simply getting sways might satisfy your suspension desires on the short run, but saving up for fully adjustable coilovers (Stance's are niiiice), getting decent bushings (Prothane), DTSS rear toe eliminators, and subframe spacers (Uras, etc.), are things you'll really want to consider as you go along. You'll also eventually want some type of LSD (pref. a 2-way...Tomei, Cusco, Kaaz, etc.), you'll do a better job of getting both tires spinning.




haha, not to be too biased, but you can get most (if not all) of these things from

DRIFT OFFICE in Auburn, WA.


Their phone number is (253) 520-3888.


They're basically your one-stop shop for most/all of your drifting needs, and will most likely have anything and everything you need/want for your FC IN STOCK, ready for you to see, touch, and buy.



Tell them Earl sent you, and they'll take care of you.
