didn't realize it did come with one. can't have no rear bar for autoX. a little annoyed, but easily fixed. i could just get an SE rear bar, but i might as well upgrade. the whiteline bar is 22mm, but i can't find the dimensions of the stock rear.

i would love the adjustability of the rear bar, but i'm not made of money so i would probably just stick with the rear for now. is that going to make the car *** happy on the street or is the softest setting close enough to the stock bar that it's safe?

are any other aftermarket bars adjustable?

stock is probably not as good as the aftermarket.

if you don't need adjustability the suspension techniques bars are pretty nice. 250 a pair for front and rear. reduces body roll pretty drastically.

can save you a couple bucks for other things like struts or other braces. pilot strut bars arent bad for the money too. 80-85 bucks a pair. although some people had trouble with them, the pair my friend got for his car was pretty good

the total combo wont be the best you can buy but its a good bang for the buck.

i got it a few weeks ago. i'm in the planning stages right now, i see 5 lug, full z brakes, either tein or SPL tie rods, and AGXs in the near future. i've got a BRM exhaust sitting in my living room already.

as for the sway bar, if i get an aftermarket on it will be the whiteline, otherwise i will get a stock one and spend the money elsewhere.

sorry ben, i'm in alabama and the car is still in texas. i didn't take any pics before i left. basically it looks like Ilikemy240sx's but stock except that it's lowered (sportlines).

i think i'm going to post a more direct thread in the suspension forum.
