Default Mugen Stabilizers

I want to tweek my suspension and was thinking about getting a set of stabilizers but don't know what sizes I should get... What differences does a larger mm in the front do compared to the rear and vice versa... Mugen has both a larger set and smaller...

I don't really race only street drive but I want my car to have the capability of pulling off 1.0g's plus...

My S is bone stock so far... for now...... $$$$

a front bar is a good addition. I'd recommend the front ONLY 31.8mm Mugen swaybar or getting the Comptech swaybar kit and only using the front bar.

Setting up the car for 1+g doesn't seem that difficult, but you won't see near 1g on the street.

another item that can help out: the x-brace.

send me a pm and I can give you the details and pricing info on these items.

Mugen stabilizer is on backorder. I ordered mine from King in Jan. & here we are now in Sept. & it's still unfortunately on backorder . 4 more months & this bar will have been on backorder for 1 full year. I'm very disappointed that mugen has been taking so long on redesigning the bar, hopefully when it does arrive it will be perfected.

That sucks that Mugen can't keep up with the demand...

but is it true that if you put a larger stabilizer in the rear then the car tends to Over steer??

if so what does the stabilizer do the the veh besides make the car more stiff??

(sorry if these sound like stupid questions, I'm new to the scene)

I have several that have been on backorder for over a year. I would suggest you look into a used Mugen bar if you are set on the 31.8mm bar with hard rubber bushings, or just go with the Comptech non-adj. set, the Saner adj. or even Gendron adj./Comptech adj. if you are looking for a serious setup.

Why only a front bar? won't that enduce the rear to come around, or is that the other way? Fill me in, I have the tanabe front and rear on now and need education, honestly.
