Stock sway bar information

[Squeekster1]

Haha, unfortunately, affording the sway bar, at either price is no problem. Its the struts that are gunna get me. Basically, jobless post graduate status is killin me.

Why does the construction industry have to go to crap when i want a job?

i am trying to upgrade all the suspension on my '97 protege,and i dont have a sway bar. would the stock sway bar make a huge difference? or should i just look for a aftermarket rear sway?

[goodorange]

stock is better than nothing... bigger is always better in this situ

unless you're getting the awr 21mm bar that kills people dead with its largeness just get a stock setup for now. You can upgrade to the smaller awr bar down the road and have all the accessories to bolt it up.

is there a bracket that i can get for my struts to hold the sway bar,you know without welding???

[nativebackup1]

oh yea kitty,by the way,do you still have the stock swaybar and those brackets for sale? i saw your sale thread and i wasnt sure if they are still available....

[Kitty]

I usualy have one in stock at all times.

And you'd be better off just replacing all the struts instead of having tabs welded onto them.

The last time I had the awr bar rip a tab off it was $25 to fix it. You can get a full set of kyb's for $200. And seing as they would have to measure/cut/measure it would be cheaper just to replace all the struts.

AWR big sway is great but i broke my adj. end link on the treads. I really wonder how much of a difference the stock sway bar will affect the performance of the vehicle. With no adj. end links and a considerablely smaller diameter, i don't seem the real benefit compared to spending $200 plus some change to have a sweet performance add on.

Atleast the stock bar wont break ****.


And hell this is a platform where people don't want to spend anymoney so a stock "upgrade" is a plus.

Giant swaybar that breaks thing eh? Cool.
