skunk2 sway bar

all they said was becuz my springs and shocks were too soft(i was using tokico plus h&r spring before i got tein)(my car was/and now 2" low). and plus, after i installed the sway bar it started making noises(metal hitting sound), so i cant use it anymore.

oh, i just got my si rear sway bar today. but it looks sorry compare to the skunk2 bar though(13mm vs. 22mm?). but i think it's ok becuz i'll overcome it by adjusting the shocks.

but i still want to know why?

If you think about it really hard, it's because all the "load" will be transferred from your springs/shocks to your anti-sway bar. How does an anti-sway bar work, though? It keeps the control arms from moving. And how does it make sure the control arms have a hell of a time moving? It bolts to the LCA's and also to your subframe. When all the load's transferred to your rear anti-sway bar then, the subframe will tear. Thick anti-sway bars are notorious for that.
