Does anyone have these sway bars? The Tanabe Sustec fron and rear sway bars. I have a s14 and i am wondering how much more of a considerable difference it wil make in body role.

Well no doubt it will help with the body roll lol! I have tanabe bar in my ae86 and it is a huge improvement over stock! But I just have it in the rear and my front is stock.

But if you're cheap, Godspeed makes some affordable sway bars as well.

Tanabe bars come with d-bracket bushings only...at least the old gray sets did. Apparently they have a new set that is red in color, don't know if they come with more than bracket bushings?

I have these on my s14...they are real beefy and stiff...they will obviously make a huge difference in stiffness. As of now I primarily autox, so I can only speak to their performance for autox. The red ones do still only come with d-bracket bushings...
