whiteline is a solid bar and a good bit stiffer than stock make sure you get the lateral lock things so it doesn't move side to side thru the bushings

Or just get some hose that'll fit over the thing and some worm gear clamps.

Whiteline is extremely popular and reliable for many makes outside of the fabled S2000 apparently where swaybars cost twice as much for no apparent reason.

I know I'm responding to a years old thread but... I recently put on a set of C3 wheels and a whiteline FSB. Using 255 squared rival s tires, stock 03 ap1 RSB. I have RSG spec Feal 441+ coilovers.

I did a NASA event at CMP last weekend and did not like the front end push in slower corners. . I either need to stiffen up the rear or go with a Karcepts FSB and adjust to my liking.
Turn 3 has a slight off camber apex to it and I kept getting wayy looser in the rear than I did with stock size wheels, RS4s and whiteline FSB.

I think the whiteline FSB is perfect for a more stock suspension setup s2k, especially an AP1. When you start chasing lap times and getting into TT it seems like an adjustable setup is a must have.

My 2cents

I was running the same setup when I was competing in STR class. I was running C3 wheels / Karcepts FSB but no RSB. I did try installing a small RSB for a couple events (Miata FSB on the rear) and it gave me a lot of over steer to the point that my co-driver spun it a couple times. It all depends on your driving style but in the end this setup worked for me and 2 co drivers. It helped us push my car to a 2nd place overall finish in STR with heavy competiton (CR/ AP2 / ND Miata (just came out at the time 2016) / AP1- all fully prepped for STR).

my .02 cents as well
