Default 01 Rear Bar

Hey guys I have a 01 looking to do some HPDE in the future, I bought the car with 225 - 245 stagger planning on switching to 255 rears, on Tein coils with a wing. With the 01 oem front sway bar being as stiff as it and going to 255 with the wing on the rear some of the locals tell me to switch to a Miata rear bar or go with an 04 bar. Does anyone have any advise on this setup, and what if I decided to run a square setup?

I have an 01 with Stock front sway bar and an 04 rear, I like it much better than the 01 rsb, its a huge difference in how the rear feels around corners.

2004 to 2009 rear sway bars are all the same.

Run it as is and see how you like it, then think about changing it. You'll be fine with the stock sway bars, especially with a rear wing it'll help add stability at speed. When you go staggered then think about changing things up.

Thanks for the suggestions, when I get the new wheels and tires I'll run it like it is, if there's too much oversteer I'll try and lay my hands on an 04 up bar.

Get a Gendron adjustable rear bar and never have to buy another bar again. Best one out there. I have one myself on my AP1.

I have decided I like my 01 rear bar because it helps rotate the car in low speed corners when the aero isn't effective and the wing makes the high speed stuff work.
