Default help choosing sway bars

which brand of sway bars is good?
Comptech, Mugen, Spoon or MUZ (any others?)
i have MUZ's in my mind cuz it's the cheapest set among the three.

get the muz, they are all the same really, IMO you only need the front to correct the oversteer this car has, if you like to drift get them both and only run the rear when you are drifting.

i am not into drifiting~

is it a good idea to mix match swaybars? (ex: comptech front and mux rear)

the comptech's provids up to 70% increase in stiffness
and MUZ's provids up to 50% increase in stiffness

the Tanabe sway bar is also very good. I know a few people that are running them.

I've been considering the Muz bars -- can anyone give me an idea of how they respond in ordinary driving (city streets and occasional weekend blasts out in the twisties, no tracking)..
Any major differences or improvements?

I recently put on the muz front, and it really helps alot. The car feels even more neutral than before, where I felt it oversteered to easily. It feels like stability and max grip have both increased alot.

Tboy.

I'm still waiting for my tanabe sway (F&R) from bulletproof. As soon as I have them I will gladly share my impressions....
