Too bad the pics don't work in the auction. 28mm is very beefy... the discontinued Neuspeed rear sway bar was 28mm and was known to rip out its own mounting brackets. Good luck with this bar, post pics when you receive it and tell us what you think.

The pics work for me.

It looks alright, but i've never heard of Lightspeed. As said above, 28mm is a beefy bar....get to know your car afterwards BEFORE you drive it hard so you don't have your rear end come out unexpectedly.

I wouldn't say that. If it is indeed good quality, and is stiffer than a ST bar, it may be something that I would love to get. It's def. cheaper than my ST bar was!

For $75, you might as well try it out for the rest of us

You could install this yourself... just jack up the rear and rest it on jackstands. Then unbolt the stock rear sway bar and bolt up this new one.

A larger rear sway bar will induce more oversteer in your vehicle.

very good price. ive looked into what my neuspeed bar cost new......... it was upwards of 400$
it does indeed look just like that one. that one even has the lower bend in it to accomidate for the 4ws actuator boxes.
i say get it. it makes a big difference when taking a corner at 45+

The stiffer your springs are, the less likely it is you will rip the sway bar brackets off car.

Its a safe bet your car is going to be oversteering like a **** so be careful.
