i was wondering if i'm upgrading my rear sway bar should i go with the type r or go with st, progress, or other brands? what do you guys think?

 

I went with the ITR bar from Beaks and used their subframe reinforcement kit to mount it. I like it alot

 

If you decide to go with the itr u will have to get a mounting kit for it bc it wont fit rs/ls/gs/gsr without.Beaks kit seems to be the best for the job.

 

go with the itr 22mm sway bar and the beaks kits

I installed mine and i love it, but it is a bit of a pain in the *** the install the re-inforcement kit

or you can go the easiest way and purchase an ASR full sub frame brace and the sway bar will mount right on without any need for re-inforcement

 

Best bang for the buck= ITR+BSQ reinforcement kit

If money is not an issue, I would suggest getting the Comptech sway bar kit...no drilling needed as it is a complete bolt on kit and you kill three birds with one stone...

you get a 22mm rear sway bar, reinforcement+lower rear tie bar, and all necessary hardware in one package...plus the sway bar is adjustable

 

Will that fit on a DB8?

 

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but yes, both the ITR+BSQ reinforcement kit and the Comptech sway bar kit should fit a DB8.

Is this the full ASR sub frame brace you are talking about? Will the JDM ITR (23mm) rear sway bar bolt right up to this as well?? I am looking at getting the JDM ITR rear sway but I need a kit to allow me to install it.

yep that's the one, it will bolt up with a 23mm sway bar. that's what my setup is

 

Nice. Thank you so much. Option JDM is a jdm store in the area so I can just pick it up straight there. As for the JDM ITR rear sway, "foreverjdm" on ebay sells them, and the shipping to Canada is really cheap compared to UPS.

I've heard not so great things about Comptech's end links. That would be my only turn-off from that kit, that and the price ($400 last time I checked).

OEM ITR rear bar + Beaks = $150 or maybe less.

Yes, the Comptech piece is more expensive, I think my gf paid a little over $300 when she bought mine, but one does not ask how much a Christmas present cost.

That said, I love it. Been on the car for daily driver / autocross / HPDE use for a little over 1.5 years now. No complaints about the endlinks, but I do know that they have gone through a few revisions on the design over time as well. I think the U shaped brackets they now provide for the LCAs fix any binding issues they might have had previously.

 

why not just use the stock endlinks?

depends on how much you get the bar for, the beaks kit was around $75 after CA tax and shipping

I ended up paying about an equal price for each item, I got the sway bar for pretty cheap though

dang, I paid like $75 for my swaybar and maybe $60-$65 for my Beaks kit.

 

I love my usdm itr sway bar. Buy that beaks kit put that beast on and you will love it. I only paid about 160 for everything, best mod i ever did to my suspension

 

i got a Progress Sway Bar from Sportcompactonly.com, it came wit all the bushings, it is 22mm thick and its pretty stable. I have not installed it yet, havent had time but i will update when i do, it cost around $195 shipped to MD

 

password JDM website has a package deal. You get the ITR sway bar and the ASR reinforcement for $280 I believe, great deal. I am going to go with this one, or a blox sway bar with the endlinks. That one is pretty cheap, $180 off of jhpusa.com.

Good luck with it.

 

i'm paying 102 from the dealer with tax already. so i should also buy beaks kit? i like the asr. alot but don't know where to order or buy them for my db7. thanks for all the helps guys ht people are the best.

 

22mm ITR sway bar so you oversteer.
your also going to need the asr brace.

 

I suggest you get a sway bar that is comparable to the aggressivness of your suspension, for safety's sake and for a balanced cooperative system. To be sure your springs and shocks can absorb and handle the added sudden weight shifts and demands forced upon them and the tires. The thicker the bar, the more extreme these forces will be.

I have an ST rear sway (19mm) with a Pro Kit and Koni Yellow's suspension.
The only place I found where you can buy only the ST rear sway without having to buy the front is http://www.jegs.com.
$130 shipped
