Default Any advantages w/ JDM 23mm Rear Sway Bar & JDM Rear Upper Contol Arms?

These appear to be inexpensive upgrades, however I may be wrong. I'd be willing to spend the money if they actually enhance the performance(handling) of the car. Don't want to spend the money, though, if it's just unnecessary "JDM" stuff.

Any thoughts, experiences?

Chris

same here. will, how do you like your jdm swaybar??? have you had any track events since you installed it?? i would think the rear upper arms would help because the wouldn't flex as much under load as the stamped versions on the usdm cars. anyone have any input they like to add???

My 23mm rear bar will be tested this weekend. There was a noticeable difference once I installed it.

The upper arms = stiffer and slightly shorter.
-stiffer = good
-shorter = a little bit more rear camber.

-who noticed a difference with the 23mm on the street.. and needs to get some upper arms
