Question If you could only afford 1 Adj. sway bar...

...would it be front or rear? why? Or perhaps it does not matter...

Best regards,

Michael

The rear is easier to install.

If I could only afford one, I'd save my money until I could afford to buy both.

I'd choose a front sway bar. I think I remember someone who's fairly highly regarded here on Pelican saying that once. Also, an expensive rear bar is pretty exposed down there and will get beat up quick.

I found the thread after some searching:
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?t=259835&highlight=stock+rear+bar

Here's the quote from Tyson Schmidt:

If you aren't hard-core tracking the car, and you want to keep things cheap, I've found the best solution is a stock 21mm rear swaybar from the late Carreras, coupled with an adjustable 22mm front swaybar from one of the many manufacturers is a great solution.

You get 90% of the performance at much less cost. You really only need to adjust one end to get the car's handling balanced. Sure, it doesn't give you as much tuning ability, but it's splitting hairs, really. There is also a nice advantage to the stock rear swaybar being very simple, durable, and doesn't interfere with the toe adjusters like most aftermarket bars, making alignments easier."

Talking

Excellent. I was figuring on only the front to avoid ripping the mounts off the rear and having to replace them... though it is harder to install. Didn't even know about the issues with rear alignment. Good to know.

Thanks Gents!,

Michael
