Best Sway Bars for FD?
So I had my shocks and springs done (Koni Yellows and Eibach Prokit) and they work great but I'm still getting a lot of body roll. So I'm looking to do the sway bars next. I've heard about issues with the Racing Beat bars and using the stock end links and mounts, etc. What is considered the best setup? Adjustability would be nice but I'm not sure if I'd be good at tuning a suspension so having a pair thats already tuned could be nice.

I have Suspension Techniques front & rear, nice bars with good performance, but no adjustment in the front and the rears have two settings, rear end wants to step out setting and an okay setting. If you do get this kit be sure to swap your front links from right to left in order to connect the front bar to the suspension.
When I have the money later this year I think I will go with the MazdaComp tubular bar setup for the adjustability. Do a search for Damien's car, you will see that setup.
And be sure to upgrade your sway bar mounts too.

And with regards to the Tripoint bars, they don't come with a recommended setting do they? So I'd have to set them up through trial and error?
Thanks

I thought the Mazdacomp tubular front bar was just a TP, but I could be wrong about that.

What kind of recommended setting are you looking for? Just start with the endlinks in the middle holes and adjust from there. If you decide on the TP front bar, go with the medium thickness and upgrade the mounts. Still the TP bar is WAY overkill unless you're tracking the car, and even then it's overkill unless you can really make use of it.

I'm still researching but this TP bar looks very nice, although it does mount low and for a car thats mainly a DD it could be in issue.

Well, after some research I think I decided to order the Suspension Techniques, I don't think I need a system as advanced and expensive as the tripoint and getting it to not sit so low on my DD car could be a pain and then dealing with special mounts, bushings, endlinks and tuning it. So now I have to find new mounts or reinforcements, maybe that RE-A that Ramy sells

Yeah, sorry. That was my original intention was to get a no holds barred best setup but after doing the reading I found that the ST bars should be good enough for a track newbie like myself and I could save some money
