sway bar vs stut bar which should i get first and will get better use of ?:confused:

im gonna go ahead and move this down to the suspension section.. it all depends on what you want to do with your suspension. IMO, do both. but if you're on a budget right now, just go with a rear sway bar. it's a bit more expensive then a strut bar i think. but it will do more for handling then a strut bar. if i may make a suggestion.. get the progress adjustable sway bar.. its the most expensive sway bar. but well worth it. i have one myself and i love it. i do have a bit of oversteer however, decelerating in sharp turns. but accelerating through turns is amazing. but i bet either a front sway bar or strut bar can fix that.

Let's say I have a front upper strut bar, a C-Pillar and rear upper & lower strut bars on my car. Will there be a large difference with an aftermaker rear sway bar even with the above mods? I've heard a lot about how great of an upgrade they are and I just wanted to hear more opinions.

id say sway is a must i ask a few freinds that go to the track and they all sayd sway over struts first

[hotrod]

rear sway bar first. then strut bars (front then rear). then lower tie bar.

it also isn't a bad idea to get a slightly bigger front sway bar, especially if you have a big rear bar like the Progressive.

ok thx guys

a few of the road racers have actually said to remove it completely.

blake, wouldnt that make for a lot more oversteer though... i mean as it is with the progress bar in the back for me i get over steer sometimes.. if im hitting a turn to hard and i ease the brakes my back end will start to kick out. it never did that before unless i was really hard on them. i would think a front one would counter that. but it may also go the other direction when im accelerating through turns. ever since the progress ive done U turns with ease. even spinning all the way through them. i would think a front bar would counter that though too making it more difficult to spin through U turns and still pulling it off.

the ****ed up thing about this bar is it's actually got me scared to push the lude around sharp turns now. i guess im just not used to it. i really wish i had an open track to push the car and really test it out.

drew you will get used to it, but don't push her too far unless you're in a wide open area. My car will shoot the ass end out slightly around a turn at moderate speeds. ludes+ gaurdrails=bad

Blake's right. Actually, a lot of people take it off their 4g completely and just run with stock rear bar. A lot of it depends on driving style as well, like braking points, etc.

Has anyone used the Tanabe sway bars?

[SlickLudeR]

I was also looking at the ST bars but look here there the same size front and rear http://www.nopionline.com/nopistore/dsp_parts.cfm?vpcid=460&vcatid=1&vcatyear=1992&vmodelid=040&vmakeid=140&vL1id=0&&vtitle=1992%20HONDA%20Prelude
