I bought suspension techniques and it came with everything. Bushings, new end links, the whole package. Got it off summit racing.

Yeah, all base model S14's never came with rear sway bars. All S14's do come with front sways tho, but no rears. Lame. . . I know. . .

Oh, thanks so much man, you gave me hope. Tanabe's are as good as suspension (or better), so it should come with all that stuff huh?.. Hopefully.

I don't know if the rear sway bar myth applied to kouki's. . . I think it was just base model zenki's. I may be wrong tho, but if you have a base model kouki, let us know if you do have rears.

1220 is too much for megan coils, i'd get something else. and if you think beefier sway bars don't improve the feel of the car you are very wrong. i noticed a nice difference, but i imagine you'll notice it more having no sway bar to begin with

Yup... The store just contacted me after calling Tanabe, and the store confirmed the sways don't even come with endlinks or the D brackets...

He then told me to go to a junkyard to find those parts, and then I told them I wanna cancel the order, and they said it's a special order, so no...

I know it's not that big of a deal, but damn man, after getting all the parts to complete the installation, I will have spent over $330 (for the energy endlinks, and new D brackets). That's just not worth it. $330 should be the price for a set of front and rear sway bars, not rears only. . .

relax man its not the end of the world. certainly no need to cancel the order because of that. i don't know of any company that sends all the hardware sicne most cars have swaybars already and therefore have the endlinks. the only thing my cusco bar came with was the bushings and brackets for where it mounts towards the middle. even if you had swaybars i'd recommend new endlinks anyways. i got moog front endlinks and energy suspension rear ones
