That is what I thought too, but my friend said that is a S13 Suspension Technique rear sway bar.

He said the new version of Suspension Technique sway bar is green, but the old version was black or gray.

Either way, I think I am going to get the Tanabe sway bar since the rear one is 27.5 mm thick instead of 21 mm (Suspension Techniques).

Just remember, larger diameter sway does not equal better handling car.

I've had the 21mm Suspension Techniques front/rear sway bars for over 6 years now. They are awesome. Although, I hear that Whiteline or Progress are supposedly better.

Progress bars are the best. Their end link design is what you're after. I believe the Tanabe bars are hollow, so you get lighter bars, and a thicker bar too, just not the best endlink design.

+1 for Progress. Fully adjustable endlinks & 3 levels of stiffness.

I got alot of understeer, so I need a thicker rear sway bar.

Which one do you guys prefer - Progress vs Tanabe?

Progress is adjustable, a bit more expensive, and comes with endlinks. Tanabe is non adjustable and doesn't come with endlinks.
