Whiteline or Racing Beat Suspension parts?

Price taken out of the question, I am a whiteline vender/distributor so I get a nice discount. So if I buy springs and both swaybars from Whiteline they will cost me about $20 less than RacingBeat pakage that brings both swaybars and springs.

So with price out the window who makes better stuff. Anyone know the spring ratess for racing beat or the sway bar diameters?

Whiteline's are Front - 27mm ; and Rear - 16mm And I think the spring drop either 1.0 or 1.6 inches. The FC is already harsh lol, so If I can avoid the ride getting waaay to harsh that would be nice too. Thanks!

Another Option is Suspension Techniques

28mm in front 19 in the rear and one inch drop on the springs.

I'd get the whiteline bars anyway, since they're adjustable.

Whitelines have both adj and non adj. The adjustable ones are a lot more expensive. wow the rear bar on Suspension Techniques is really thick...but thier package is almost $100 more than RacingBeat or Whiteline would cost me. Knowing the diameters on racing beat would really help though

So in terms of sway bars both companies tied Guess it comes down to bushings and springs. (suspension techniques has the biggest rear bar though).

The RB bars stiffen the front more than the rear, leading to more understeer.

Ask me how I know...

Yeah same with whiteline (I'm assuming based on the diameters). I was hoping for more nuetral handling. Maybe I can mix and match.

Rear- Suspension Techniques
Front- Whiteline
Springs- Racing Beat
