going to be ordering this soon just trying to get some feedback. i've searched and read tons of other threads. im 100% set on the neuspeed strut bar. but still iffy on the ST rear sway bar. im not a auto x'er and dont need anything extreme or the best. just looking for something to have alittle more fun with. is this a good setup? or should i just go with the strut bar and save my money? also i've read that the ST rear sway bar tends to slide and will rub against your shocks. i have stock shocks so should i worry about it? has anyone gotten a hold of the saner collers to prevent this from happening? thanks again and sorry for all the questions

You'll notice a difference with the rear sway bar for sure. Do you need it? Honestly that's up to you. Try to find someone in your area who has one to try their car out and decide for yourself.

Re: stock shocks/bar shifting........not sure one this one but it might hit.

There are various members here with the Saner collars.

Read this WHOLE thread to see some more pictures.
where can i get a collar for my sway bar

Eh, you expect me to get you the collars? Just call them yourself. Their information has been posted numerous times (just search).

IMO, if you wanted to save money (ie only buy one of the above items), I would go with the ST Swaybar. The swaybar makes a big difference even on stock suspension whereas the strutbar only helps when you're already lowered with stiffer springs/shocks.

Two-Five Boy

NOT TRUE!!! A well-constructed front STB will help reduce understeer on a FWD vehicle, regardless of its suspension.

I don't agree (not 100% anyway).

preludervtec

well im lowered on just some coilover springs but stock shocks still if that helps. but keep the replies coming. thanks

Somboa

I agree with Two-Five Boy but I'm just saying if you're only going to pick one of the two, get the rear sway first as you'll notice that more but of course, doing both will be better.

Care to explain that? Is this a joke?

Chassis stiffening in the front is going to have such a small impact on the slip angles/final spring rates at the wheels that it won't do much at all for the balance of the car. It WILL make the car marginally tighter, and slightly more responsive, especially if the springs/shocks are stiffened to begin with. It will NOT make the car more neutral. I would bet lunch that if you drove a stock prelude, and a prelude with a FSTB you would not be able to rotate either car more than the other.
