you should. I beleive it helps body roll and stiffens the rear. 1st i would get a coilover kit, check out the deals in the sponsered section. either get full coilovers or get some nice struts with groudn control coilover/ sleeve kit.

a rear sway bar is a good thing to get tho. I plan on getting either the ASR kit or the Comptech, which come with adjustable sway bar, and under tie rod brace or w/e.

Just look...it'll be reaslly obvious if you have a front bar or not. But yes a rear swaybar makes a nice difference...just finished installing mine a couple of days ago. I'd strongly reccomend getting a front swaybar too though if you don't already have one. Also since I'm assuming yoiu have an ek based chasis don't go over 19mm for the rear unless you get soime kind of subframe reinforcement such as a beaks kit or ASR brace.

at the front underside of the car. if there's a bar running from one LCA to another you have one. for detailed pics/explanations you should really get a good service manual such as helms or haynes.

if the rear LCAs have the swaybar hole then no otherwise yes a set of aftermarket rear LCAs would be cheaper than getting GSR LCAs and replacing the bushings.
