Default Tanabe or Megan Racing rear lower tie bar

I really need to stiffen the rear end for oversteer/understeer.

Pretty soon im purchasing suspension techniques rear sway bar, and i got new end links for the front since i really just need to stiffen up the rear end for now, plus the tie bar and traction bar in the front help with that. front kinda feels like a "tank" into the corners at the moment.

Im looking at Tanabe tie bar vs the Megan Racing tie bar, each look considerably different of course same concept in mind.. but it looks like the megan one would be a little weaker or not stiffen it up as much since its not one solid molded piece like the Tanabe. Tanabe is twice the cost.


Im wondering, what are you running back there or if there is a better brand to go with. Thanks.

If you want to improve your steering/stiffness, quit looking at a tie bar and get a sway bar.

Progress is the brand name.

I stated i was ordering the suspension techniques rear sway in original post.

I have heard good things about progress, but do they have sways for 4h gen? I was told they only have them for the 5th.

Missed it. Anyway, this piece won't do much of anything. Don't get your hopes up.

No. Your information is correct and valid, but you don't have to add the extra remarks at the end.
