im gonna order sways which should i get first the front or the rear or does it not make a difference thank you

 

Progress 22mm add on rear bar is the only thing you need to get. Turbo Tech Racing sells them.

 

why only a rear bar? I am going to upgrade me front to the FE5 24mm front sway bar and the progressive rear bar

The over/under steer balance was far better on my car when I had the stock FE1 front bar and the 22mm add on rear bar. When I upgraded the front bar to FE5 it took the balance away and gave the car noticeable understeer. I would recommend the new 25mm bar if your going to upgrade the front.

 

Its all personal preference, you need to drive the car with the bars installed to see whats best for you.

I would recommend upgrading the front first and then deciding if you "need" a rear bar.

Upgrading to a rear bar first will alter the way the car handles quite a bit(as its designed to) but MOST people dont like the way a car feels with a large rear antisway bar and a small front bar.

The problem with just going to a big rear bar first is that you usually wont really know if you can handle the new dynamics of the car until it swaps ends on you once. Whereas a front bar is a lot more predictable(its gonna understeer) and is easy to come to terms with it limits without harming yourself, others or the car.

If youve got access to a Solo type race area then just buy which ever strikes your fancy first and give it a whirl on the pad.
