    You autocorss right? I am currently running an ST rear sway bar with my stock sway bar in front and I am really happy with the way the car feels. Out of the options you listed above, the Suspension Techniques front & Suspension Techniques rear combo is probably the best. If you race often then maybe the 1" Quickor bar will be a good addition although it'll be hard finding one as they stopped making them a while back.

    while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height

        well the biggest swaybar combination that you can get unless you getcustom parts would be...

        zx2-stock front swaybar
        ST front add-on bar

        quikor 1" rear bar.


        throught what i have heard i would not use the quickor 1" rear bar unless it was possible to run with strengthend lateral links and a better way for the bar to be held up with brackets...

        all in all it all is determined by how much $$ you have.

          Yes, mainly for autoX, but I like a good handling car all the time (who doesn't?).

          You can buy them from Quickor directly. Though it's quite expensive at ~$190USD.

          I'm trying to figure out if stock front ST rear will give similar feel (for cheaper $$$) than the more expensive option of ST front and Quickor rear.

            What springs and struts are you using?

            I run the stock front bar with the ST rear bar, poly endlinks and poly frame mounts with H&R MX3 springs/ZX2 struts

            The car feels very neutral and well balanced, but lacks max front end grip due to not enough neg camber. It will push and it will dance, but really only when provoked.

            The H&R MX3 springs are the stiffest of them, so if your using something softer, maybe the ST front and rear might work out well.

              Addco could be added to the list as well, since thats another option!

                I'm planing on run with the ST front and rear. I like the idea of a compound front bar. That way you can stock bar, just the ST bar, no bar or both depending on the conditions.
