I have a 1993 S13 Hatchback mainly for drifting.

Currently I have:

Eibach Sportlines SpringsTokico Blues Shock Absorbers

I am thinking of just upgrading the rear sway with Tanabe rear sway bar.

So, I will have Front bar 24mm and 22 mm in the rear. Do you think this is good idea?

If I were to upgrade both bars, I will get Suspension Techniques Front and Rear Sway Bar. Do they come with the stock endlink bushings and the bracket bushings?

In the near future, I will get:Energy supspension Rack and Pinion Bushings SetMegan Street Coilover (With the coilover, do you think I should just keep the two stock sway bars and replace the sway bar bushing?)Tein Tie Rod and Tie Rod EndSPL PRO V2 tension rodsRear Tanabe Sustec Strut Tower Bar

If I were to do adjustment for the rear suspension, I will get:

Megan rear upper control arms (RUCA)Megan Rear Toe ArmsMegan rear traction rods

What do you think of this setup for drifting?

Thanks!

Do research on Progress sway bars. They are good.

I have both the front and rear progress bar. Beefy as #### and the heim joint end links are really nice.I am considering removing my rear one thou. I am going for grip, not drift and I have read that no rear bar is sometimes best for grip.

^ ive got the progress rear and i love it. grip or drift, it does a damn good job.

im really trying to pick up a matching front bar with the sweet endlinks. i really liked how much of a differnce the rear made.

I want to increase the steering response. There is dead spot with my steering.

I know I should replace:

Rack and Pinion Bushing (ordered from Energy Suspension; waiting for the part)Aluminum Steering BushingTie rods + Tie rod endsTension rod

What else should I do? I know I can get HICAS steering rack for quicker ratio, but it is over my budget.

Thanks!
