so i'm thinking about getting sway bars. read about the effects and what people think about it. contact patch vs. stiffness, fine tuning etc. and for other uses. i just kind of wanted to reduce the body roll with some upgrades. what do you guys think?

i am most likely going to go with both front and rear. don't see any reason not to.

i think you have a well thought out plan.

one thing to check for would be clearance with the exhaust. not sure what size the sway bars are or if they would rub/hit against the exhaust. easily fixed, but too large of an exhaust would complicate things.

I ended up just doing a Progress rear sway bar and left the stock front bar in place. Definitely helped eliminate the natural understeering of the car and allowed it to rotate a lot better. Depends what you are after and where you want to go faster. If you autocross, then skip the front bar as the last thing the EP3 needs is more front roll stiffness.

i have front and rear tanabe sways...and i like it but i didnt put the front yet...coz have to remove the mid pipe...~_~ but seriously the rear one gives u better handling in sharp turns...and u can feel it....and another best thing is u can use your stock endlinks...and tanabe reccomends to use them... ^_^
