Can someone please tell me if putting on just the ST rear sway bar will make the backend come around too easily? Especially in terms of the TypeSH? Since atts already helps reduce understeer would the rear sway just be overkill? thanks

It's good for the SH, in fact, I don't think it's big enough for me. But that's just my opinion. I used to have the ST rear sway, then sold it and got the Neuspeed rear sway expecting to receive the 28mm bar, but instead it was the 25mm bar because Neuspeed claims that there were reports saying that the 28mm bar had caused torn subframe before. So they reduced the size to 25mm.

check the parts forum... someone is having a group buy on the rear bar for 125 shipped, or 250 shipped for the set.
Killer deal!

I think preludeparts.com has em for 240 for both with free UPS ground. Don't quote me on it, but I believe that is the case. I was just wondering what his used price was. It could be a great bargain.

Get it or the Neuspeed bar man. You wont be disappointed and wont be too much oversteer. Should be really sweet and another step closer to getting the car to where you want it.

Both are nice, but it seems like the Neuspeed is slightly better since you also change the "L" brackets (ST uses the factory brakets). The Neuspeed "L" brackets are much stronger than the factory one. I didn't measure the thickness of both brackets, but just by looking at them, the factory one is probably 1/16" max. in thickness and made out of one piece metal, the Neuspeed one is at least 3/16" in thickness and it's two pieces welded together.

the front bar is thicker then ive ever heard of anyone using...not sure if this would be good or bad...?
With those bars, your car will have less body roll, but it's still gonna understeer because of the super beefy front bar. If you ask all the experienced front drive car drivers at the auto-x, I'd bet all of them are gonna tell you not to change the front bar, and just get the rear bar.

Thats what I was gonna say. I say just get the rear bar, whatever you get. Noone really makes a combo where you can replace the front bar, make the front stiffer meaning that the front was bigger than the original, and still have a bigger rear bar, at least, not that I have seen. And that is what you would want, a largerer rear bar to get rid of some of the understeering charcteristics of a fwd car.
