If you have access to a press, a scale (ruler), a center punch, and a drill you can modify the stock rear swaybar to be ~14% stiffer than stock as I've discussed here: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1380256&postcount=196

If you only wanted to buy only the rear swaybar, I'd get a whiteline (50-80% stiffer).

If you wanted to buy a matched set, I'd get ST or Tanabe (both very close, Tanabe is lighter/more expensive/more rear-biased)

looking for a little more input before making my decision........

Um, did you see who that comment came from? Jeff is pretty much the guy to go to about suspension stuff. Personally, I take whatever he says as being fact and just do it.

Indeed, Jeff (MA71SUPRATURBO, not me) knows what he is talking about. If your looking for product reviews I have had ST bars before and was very satisfied with them.

Why wouldn't you get front and rear Whiteline? Does the front one suck?

 

[Neodeuccio]

Perhaps Whiteline is the only company that sells them individually?

 

[mecevans]

guessing they are too stiff for my coilovers.

Does the car understeer a lot or is it balanced?

Do you only want to change something because you feel like the rear is rolling too much?

How low is the car?

The spring rates don't look too bad. I mean they seem like a better split than some of the other cheap coilovers out there.

But I wouldn't change them just because you think the rear rolls too much. I mean if there's an understeer problem or something else happening, then I would look into things, but that's just me.
