Default Function7 rear brace ??

Hey guys,

I just picked up the function7 rear brace and lca's for my em1. For any of you guys running this setup out there I was wondering which sway bar did you go with.. I tried searching for common setups but haven't found anything specific to that combo. I'm thinking of the ASR swaybar. Any advice is welcomed and appreciated!

I would think any sway bar would be OK with any brace. Just get the diameter you want, which affects how much oversteer you're setting your suspension up for. ASR is 24 mm I believe and I think it's adjustable. ITR is probably the most commonly used and it's also the cheapest. It's 22 mm and will have less oversteer than the ASR (at least at it's 'stiffest' setting).

Thanks for the great info.. I'll go with the ITR Swaybar.. its much less expensive than the ASR. Which end links would you recommend? Can I use the OEM si endlinks? or would you recommend after market (ASR, blox etc)

IMO factory endlinks are best, as long as they fit! Not sure exactly what you should do in an EM, but in my DC2 I just reused the ones that were in there. Aftermarket endlinks are $$ and can be noisy, or so I hear.
