Re: Who makes the best rear swwaybar for the 96-00 hatchbacks (Halo)
I'd stick with either Beaks/ITR or Comptech.
Both are basically the same thing. Comptech has a little more bling with it's lower tie bar.
But at the same time, more expensive.
Both are OEM, so you don't have any problem clearing your exhaust..in most cases.

I have a Comptech 22mm rear sway. I am very pleased. I would say either the ITR or Comptech are both good bars.

Re: Who makes the best rear swwaybar for the 96-00 hatchbacks (Hooch at 8400-RPM)
i have an EG..so i'm thinking this will relate to the EK...
will a 14mm GSR differ that much from a 22mm TypeR rear sway?? for better or for worse? cuz peeps here claim too big of a bar isn't the best bet.

As long as you have a bar in the front thats around the size of the bar in the back, you're fine. (that sounded really really really gay)
Like, a 24mm GSR front and an ITR rear would do you just fine.

Re: Who makes the best rear swwaybar for the 96-00 hatchbacks (fowler)
I use to have the ST kit, after 2 weeks of driving the rear swaybar completely tore out my rear I beam and ran me $1100 to fix...Belive me if you have ever had your Ibeam torn off you will become Ibeam paranoid forever 
I am using the CTR/Si front swaybar(26mm?) Would there be any added safety if the bar was mounted away from the Ibeam entirely? Like the SRR kit? I am also running 800lb springs in the rear with 950lb in front. Do stiffer springs put less stress on the swaybar or softer springs?

I would guess that softer springs do because they would cause more body roll/chasis flex. I'm probably gonna go with the Comptech myself though.

I would go with OEM, or saner. http://www.sanerperffab.com I think is the url. They make custom bars and I believe they have adjustable endlinks. Mike M has a special for jdm itr 23mm rear sways right now. Check the sticky on the best buys page.

Re: Who makes the best rear swwaybar for the 96-00 hatchbacks (SlippylesKB)
Why then the supposed I beam problems with the ST bar if its a smaller diameter than the 23mm ones? Shotty mounting points or what?
