This thread really shouldn't be titled "Official front sway bar thread" Its pretty useless with lots of: "I have ____ bar and I like it" comments. I saw one post on page 3 with useful info regarding sway bar sizes. Needs more of that + weights of each bar as well.

I recently put Eibach front and rear sway bars on my 00. I noticed a BIG difference. I am now wondering if I should put the stock rear back on after reading various threads.. How would this change the cars handling?

Putting the rear sway back on will cause the rear to have less traction, all things being equal.

What's better, a solid non adjustable bar or a tubular bar with multiple settings?

Me me me... running a saner bar up front while the rear bar is in land fill somewhere. 17x9 255 all around. Im looking at doing a custom front tubular bar with a blade adjustment just for the fact that it'll be easier to adjust and lighter weight. Im actually really happy with the way the saner bar works just looking to shed some weight from the car and looking or something easier to adjust.

^^^I messed around with my dampening settings (didn't when I first took the bar off) and honestly love how it feels now. Cusco 32mm bar up front, no bar in the rear and it handles very, very neutral with 17x9 255 all around. Seems that adjusting the damping really make the car much more confident to drive.

for those running no rear bar, what are your front and rear sprint rates?
