I really want a rear sway, should I get the front too while i'm at it? This is for my daily driver I like to throw around corners now and then .....what do you all suggest??

get the rear first and if it oversteers too much for your taste,
balance with a front.
you'll probably get more help in suspension tuning.

I wanna get sway bars too ! what do you all suggest

For what car? ITR rear sway/ beaks kit. Then you can get either an si front or gsr front sway.

I wouldn't recommend adding a rear without a front on a street car. You hit a turn hard enough and your front end will want to roll while the rear end will want to squat. You want both ends of the car to work together. You use sway bars to help achieve balance. You won't have it with what you are suggesting.

Yes, some people will tell you that it is fine, but you need some high spring rates (aka, a stiff ride) to be able to get away with this.

So like I said, this is a bad idea on a street car.

my del sol came with no sway bars, i got the gsr front and rear. very nice. i upgraded to the eibach 25mm front and 17 rear. its nice as well but i would highly recommend going with oem stuff for not too modified suspension setups. the integras sway bars are fine.

my friend and i have had this same argument like 1000 times. my view is there are so many variables to mess with in suspension tuning that there are many possible setups that are nicely balanced. personal preference also comes into play. so i would still suggest trying one sway bar at a time. of course it has to work with the rest of your suspension: ie if you are trying to get a real heavy sway, i would recommend getting stiffer coil springs and shocks first. just be careful with only a rear sway bar because "that bich will want to spin out!"

I have an EK that came with NO sway bars at all. I go tthe suspension techniques front and rear bars. Installed with ease and OMG did they make a difference. I'm serious, one of the best things I have bought for my car.

I just put my rear 22mm ITR bar on my 93 Si this weekend and autocrossed. I used to run a 25mm front bar but took it off for the autocross because I didn't want to be pushing through turns and a bunch of cones. Yes, the rear was sliding out! It was a super twisty track and the rear coming out around the slower speed turns was actually nice. But I wouldn't reccomend the 22mm with no front bar. You could get yourself into trouble in wet weather.

I would recommend the Beaks 22mm rear ITR kit and some kind of OEM front bar. Wil at Beaks is really helpful and got me the ITR kit shipped to my house a week after I PayPaled the money... he does good business. The 22mm rear with a 24mm front would give for a nice and balanced car.

Since it's just a daily driver I would just get the cheapest OEM set or an aftermarket set with a good reputation.
