    POLL: Sway Bars

    After many hours, dozens of threads and online resources (full of people arguing over sways) I have a headache and no clue what swaybar kit to get...so I set up this poll. Hopefully we can get enough people to participate and solve this for everyone haha!

    Please just pick which sway bar kit you'd recommend out of all the above...

      Well, what's the intended use of the car going to be? Race, street, dual purpose.

      What kind of handling do you want from the car? The reason there's a lot of arguing is because there is no specific right answer.

      Couple more questions..

      What's your budget? How complete of a kit do you want/need?

        I realize that...mine would be for street use. But for the poll just post what you'd recommend for your use.

              Im running factory 325is sway bars (20F 12R) with new end links and bushings. Most people recommend getting a little larger front sway bar and not messing with the rear.

                    Here's the thing about sway bars. A larger bar takes away grip, but adds responsivness, especially on the limit of adhesion. However, the larger the bars when on a bad surface, such as city streets and highways, can cause loss of traction and stability. Larger bars will also help the car not to snap so much when drifting, allowing you to catch it slower. Larger bars also make the ride harsher.
