Which rear sway will go best for my setup...

pro kit
agx shocks
Neuspeed F and R lower bar

I plan on keeping the front sway stock for now. Which would go best for a daily driver with no chance of giving me a headache.

SI '99 15mm '00 13mm

GSR ??
Type R 21mm

I've heard type R bars like to rip out on soft suspensions but theirs a kit that helps reduce this risk. SOmeone told me I would be happiest with the type R bar but It sounded like he was going off the 'bigger is bette,r everything that it type R is best' mentality. Am I just being a ***** about it and being to conservative for wanting a under 20mm bar?

 

giving you a headache? you mean harsh ride quality? seeing that your car is already lowered, i wouldn't imagine a rear sway bar could make it much worse.

i have a 1" (25.4mm) ST bar on my EJ, daily driver, with stock struts and springs. i have noticed when i hit large dips at freeway speeds there is less absorption by the struts, more like the back of the car just kinda drops down, but it's not intolerable.

keep in mind the larger the sway bar, the better cornering you'll get. i can actually get oversteer in my car now that i've added the rear sway. on the other hand, a smaller one will give you a little more comfort, but like i said earlier, i doubt you'll notice much since you already have stiffer struts and lowering springs

i didn't really answer your EXACT question, but i hope this helps

Neuspeed rear bar: 80 shipped

Suspension Techniques rear 19mm bar is about $150 shipped and works fine and reduces the risk of subframe tearing.

 

SO it would be cheaper (if i don't need a reinforcement kit). Seems like a good compromise. CAn you tell me more. Are U sure there is no tearout issues? People have told me I would need a reinforcement kit for anything over 15mm.

any exhaust clearence issues with Apexi WS?


Site for that price or cheaper. thX.
