Default 24mm rear sway bar? anybody running one?

I'm picking up a progress 24mm sway bar from a local guy. Just wondering if anybody had one. Are there any issues that that I need to worry about?

nogi just paint the tie bar before you install it. My tie bar got real bad because I drive my car daily even in the winter. The salt and snow did its damage.

Put lock tight (blue kind) on the threads of the bolts. Great product.......but you dont want the same thing to happen to you as vantage and I.

on my em2 i don't have the stock rear sway

i got the kit to put it on

i noticed that the brakect that you put on to the car to mount the end links too is u bolted on would any one weld it on so it as no chance of twisting or is the u bolt good enough

Bolt is good enough. I had to use the same adapter kit. I have had it on my car for over 2 years now (winter driven) and been to the track several times.

nope. I wasn't sure if it would clear my header before and now I don't think it will clear my downpipe.

One of my friends with a k20a2 swap into his em2 did have the progress front sway bar and he turbo charged as well with a greddy kit. If you are doing a custom downpipe I think you should be able to make the front sway fit. I didn't really think about adding the front sway when I did my turbo installation.
