rear sway bar

I want to do a rear sway bar setup, right now I have a stock suspension, I’m getting some tein ss's in the spring for sure. I'm looking at a stock CTR 22mm sway bar, and I want to get the ASR reinforcement brace thing, exactly what else would I need, if I just get the CTR bar and the ASR kit, like what end links do I get??? also is that a good sway bar or is there a better choice??? I have to drill holes in my LCA’s right???

the usdm itr sway is also 22mm, so dont spend anymore than 80 on a "ctr bar"
You'll need em1 endlinks.
The ASR brace comes with everthing you'll need, including aluminum bushings that insert into the sway (so you can ditch the crappy rubber ones)

Personally, I think my 22mm bar is great. I cant see the reason to spend any more on a jdm itr 23mm bar, and I certainly cant see the need for a mugen 26mm. ASR does make a 32mm tube...but thats totally ridiculous. 22mm is fine.

Dont buy the bar from ASR...they want to much. There was a local guy selling a 22mm for 60 just the other day.
Buy the sway, em1 endlinks, and the ASR kit...you'll be set

(I love mine)

Yeah, I bought it directly from ASR, for the same price.

the aim of that local guy selling the 22mm bar is hoppincanuck
I dont know if he still has it, but its worth a shot.

What does password want for a 22mm bar these days?

PW wants $100 for the bar, but they don't even have it in stock, I just ordered the asr kit from PW, i'm going to call a local shop that always somehow has really cheap prices
thanks!

Man, I bought mine for 80 there just last spring! Damn Leo for raising prices and following supply/demand...

Did you try contacting that guy over aim? I checked his ad and it says that its "pending" but if you offer a little more cash, I bet he'll sell it to you instead (last time I checked he was unemployed...capitalize

I dont think its bad at all, but of course it depends on how angled your rear section is. I think Im looking at over 35mm of space

You better re-enforce that area around the holes with something or you risk ripping the subframe. I know mine did.

well I put the sway bar on yesterday and its fuckin great its like a whole different car, but less then 24hrs later driving home from school today one of my fuckin steal aurora endlink bolts decides to pop, as soon as I heard it I was like ah shit there goes the endlink, I swerved the car and I knew instantly, I just emailed ASR I hope they will be sending me some new hardware, everything was gone the bolt, nut, aluminum endlink spacers, these special aurora beveled washers, and my $10 grease seal kit………..fuck
