ST front would be funny with any of the thicker rears, because ST's are so thin

id say just go with progress front and rear, theyll be stiffer, more adjustable, and the endlinks are far superior to whiteline

could anyone explain what exactly is so bad about the whiteline endlinks? a few people have said that they suck, but why? lol my car is just my daily driver and i never drift. would the whiteline endlinks disappoint me?

28.6mm is Thin???

New ST Fronts, along with Progress, are 27mm. I have the Older Grey ST Front, prior to them going Lime Green, which measures +/- 28.6mm.

I am leaning towards Progress, in the rear, over Whiteline but its still close.

alright i was thinking something else

the ST front is still non-adjustable, which is half the reason to buy sways, so you should still get new front and rear progress

whiteline endlinks can bind and ****, from what ive heard in extreme cases it can cause them to snap, most of the time theyre just a pita

spl endlinks fixes the problem, but you might as well just get progress and be set from the start

The Godspeed rear is 28.29mm the thickest of them all but it is made with crushed bends instead of mandrel. Can someone explain the difference?

thats too thick of a rear period, but especially with an ST front on there, the car will be a pita, dont bother with it

Front #2132 1.125" $141 + s/h

Rear #2133 .875" $139 + s/h

If you were to order both I could do it for $254 + $30s/h

If you were to do a GB of say roughly 10 sets, I could do them for $125 each (+ s/h) or $240 (+s/h)

I do not have any photographs of these kits yet. The front bar comes with new bushings, the rear appears to come with new bushings as well. I do not believe either come with endlinks.If you guys prefer Whiteline, I can get those as well... http://www.whiteline.com.au/

I happened to find it from a guy in Canada a few years ago. Some place in Canada should have some, since they are importing R32s in, I'm sure someone has to be upgrading their sways on them.

Did you use the stock sphericals to mount it or some aftermarket ones? I got a chance to get one of these for a very good deal and need to know about fitment.

Here you go. Middle hole is stock location, but it'll be stiffer than stock because the bar itself is thicker and stronger. I strongly recommend Progress sway bars.
