Default Sway bar question!

I have a 96 cx hatch with koni yellows and ground control coilovers with the standard spring rates and 195/50/15 falken ziex ze912's. I have installed a 99-00 si 26mm front sway bar. Here is my question. I have the chance to buy a stock 99-00 si rear sway bar (13mm) for $50 or an m-factory (22 or 23mm) rear swaybar tiebar reinforcment setup for $150. Which would be the ideal one to get for everyday driving and maybe occasional track events?

Thanks

Scott

I would personally go with the M-factory setup. I would have done the rear before the front actually.

The EM1 rear bar may as well be a brake line. 13mm sucks.

I have a ITR 22MM bar that I found at a junkyard for $20 with brackets on my EM1 with ground controls and it handles great.

You definately have to get a subframe brace for anything that big to be safe...so that M factory deal sounds pretty decent.

You're going to need RLCAs that have a swaybar hole in them, though.

Do you have links to this M factory part?

...you also need D brackets, links, and a subframe brace to go along with it.

Thanks for the suggestions! I have to search through the forum where I saw the part for sale! Once I find it i'll post up the link.

Thanks
