Find me a rear sway bar...
Alright I'm looking for a rear sway bar. Wanted to get some feedback from everyone. Im looking for something for the street maybe a few auto x passes. Something to get rid of some of my body roll. Should I go solid or hollow? 22mm, 23mm, ......? adjustable or non? I have an 06 so I think I have the aluminum endlinks so I dont think I need endlinks.
Thanks for the input guys.

Gruppe-S has the Cusco 22mm Rear (3-way Adjustable) for $155 shipped. It's what I have on mine (granted, i got mine used) and I've had no problems with it.

I say go cheap.
Since they are all essentially steel bars, and most have similar ~200% stiffness over stock, you might not notice the difference between aftermarket bars, but you will notice the difference over stock.

Adjustable is nice so that you can find what's right for you and your driving style.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

my cobb adjustable rsb has been great.
fyi, i bent a stock sti rear endlink 90 degrees though with it set on the 'softest' setting. you might wanna think about stronger links.

I'm just reinterating the above, but if there is any way possible, try to replace the endlinks at the same time. If money is tight, forget I said it, but eventually you are going to want to replace the endlinks. The WRX ones are known to be a little on the weak side. When you add the additional strain of a stronger RSB, the endlinks can crack/break.

+1 on getting better rear endlinks. The stockers are doodoo. Just get a set of KB (or comparable) rear endlinks, install them, and forget about them. Goodbye worrying about rear endlinks!Sabre wrote:I'm just reinterating the above, but if there is any way possible, try to replace the endlinks at the same time.
