Do most people with S13's only get aftermarket rear sway bars or something? Does a front sway bar make it better? What is a popular proven one?

The OEM front bar on a 240SX is pretty good isn't it, 25mm, it's just not adjustable. I kept mine and just bought new endlinks and bushings all around for it. I did the same for the rear but it's tiny, I'll definitely replace it.

most of the time, for the cheap yet somewhat effective route, would be to swap the rear sways for some HICAS bars... but i did the front and back st bars. theyre cheap, like less than 200 i think

Hey i got a set of godspeed sway bars and they are very nice! Esp. the price. These bars are actually thicker than tanabe's sway bars. N-e ways you could get a full set with bushings for the price of one tanabe sway bar. I got my set for 160 shipped to my door (F+R) So hope ya find what suits you best.

I saw those and the price is excellent. Did you install them yet? How do you like the rear?

So the front on a stock S13 is OK but the back is small?

Except on the SuperHICAS equipped models, which came with a 21mm rear sway bar.
