Hey everyone. Which company(ies) make good strut and sway (front and rear) bars? Or do I really need the sway bars? I kinda want the strut bars because of show. Plus it will add a little stiffness to my suspension. Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks

If you just want show, don't bother with the sways.

If you just want show, don't bother spending money on the the people that make the good ones, get the prettiest ones.

With what you have now you really dont need struts or sway bars but DC sports makes good struts and Skunk 2 makes good sway bars you should probably buy them when your car gets faster.

You may want to specify rear lower tie bar.

You can't see front ones.

The SI already comes with a 26mm front sway bar and a 13mm rear sway bar. Unless you are trying to autocross, I would leave them like they are.

If you are all into show, then get the rear sway dipped in chrome or something...

dc sports bars are shit. anything i can bend with my bare hands is NOT gonna hold up to the hundreds of lb of force that it will have to endure on a daily basis.

i suggest bennen, skunk2, comptech, and the ITR bars for the strut bars.

for sway bars, suspension techniques, comptech, neuspeed come to mind.

I think chunky is right. I went to a local shop and push down on a DC Sports strut bar and it did seem kinda flimsy. Anyone have DC Sports strut bars (rear upper and lower and front upper)? Did you you feel any difference with your suspension? Let me try to specify a little more on what I"m looking for. I want the performance of a good strut bar plus the look so that it will match every thing (preferably blue). Any comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
