Sway bars

I'm thinking about getting sway bars on my car. I have SS/SC springs I'm gonna put on first and then I want to tighten it up a little. I heard that the SS/TC is good for the front, but would it be cheaper to get a full kit? No tracks just want to get rid of my body rollz. Whats the best bang for the buck? I have about $200 to spend.

Search button has too many unrelated threads and no definite answers in those on topic

i read that mounting locations changed slightly between the years so I'm looking for an 09 FE5 but can only find an 08 and under. Would that work?

I guess this is it http://www.crateenginedepot.com/stor...P1661C188.aspx Right?

Do i need the end links too?

Check your PM box OBZ

What changed on the SS/TC bars was the position/angle of the endlinks mounts. This doesnt affect its use any year car or its use with any model endlink, only the way it works.

You only need endlinks if you want a stiffer front. The stock endlinks will work but since they are longer than FE5 links they offer a slightly less stiff antiroll efect.

you won't need a front, the stock bar has a perfect blend of stiffness and flex, there really isn't an upgrade.

I think hes got an FE1 car. Front upgrade is necessary for proper balance.
