Rx3 Sway Bars

I understand that you can use an Rx2 front sway bar on a Rx3. Is the Rx2 a bigger bar? What do you have to do to make this swap?

And, yes I did do a search.
Thanks

All I have is the stage 2 front end kit from RB. But according to RotaryRevn, the RX-2 front sway bar is better. yes, send him a PM for more details.

you can have a local place around seattle bend an 1 and 1/8 for you. the place is called quicker, they make good stuff, and they used to make them for the rx3 back in the day. You should come up to the poulsbo area and check kens and my rx-3's out. we both have extra parts and stuff also. ken and I both run old quicker bars.

The RX2 bar is 1", vs. the 7/8" stock RX3 bar.
If you extend the threads on the ends of the bar, you can have adjustable caster.
The optimum size for an RX3 front bar is 1-1/16".
If Glen is still at Quickor, he may make one up for you in that size, which will allow you to run a more reasonably sized rear bar.
