diameter for rear sway bar?

there are better things you can do for that amont of cash. Like if you install the H&R springs YOURSELF, for $200 you can pick up quite a bit of snap to your corners. With the H&R springs you can keep stock struts if your car is under 150K miles. If you can find the sway bar on a salvaged altima for $30, go for it, otherwise, spend your cash else where on better upgrades.

This prolly true. But if this is what you want, it's DEFINATELY worth the money. I love mine. It feels like it corners on rails. NICE!!!SuprStyl said:
The stock sway bars aren't even an inch in diameter. Even the Sus Tech bar, i think. It's significantly bigger, but not quite sure about an inch though. it could be, but just barely.
Peterson told me the numbers before. 1st gen gxe/gle/xe looks like 11mm and ST looks like 18mm or 21mm.
Remember, I think proper upgrade path is Rims/Tires to increase grip, Lowering springs next to handle turns, and then rsb to reduce understeer.
Bang for buck, rsb wins in my opinion...better mod than fstb.

O.K., it's a good thing I'm finally back from my business trip to Key West (yeah, I know, dirty job, but somebody).
The first gens had 15mm rear bars in all models except SE, which had 16mm. All second gens have 16mm.
The S.T. (Stillen) bar is 21mm.

For the money, I'm assuming you're going for Touring Car performance as opposed to drag-car performance right?
I'd tighten up the front-end first; with a Strut Tower Brace. It's OK if the rear-end leans a little bit, and it's actually a bad thing if the rear doesn't lean at all. Try this on Gran-Turismo. You'll see what I mean. The SE sway bar is a good place to go, but my priority would be on tightening up the front.
Actually, you don't have springs yet right? Get those first before you do any Strut Braces or Sway Bars. A good set of G/C Eibach springs are perfect! Thurznite has "regular" Eibachs, and they are very very squishy. No offense Jay.

Haven't heard anything new since he sent them measurements to make one for him.Sleeper said:
None taken. I know that my setup isn't the best. I'm still waiting on $ to get Tokikos. Might make it ride better. However, I love your gc setup and wish I went that route!PT said:Actually, you don't have springs yet right? Get those first before you do any Strut Braces or Sway Bars.

The one I got from Australia for the front was huge...It's in my room, I can measure it, but it's at least 35 mm, maybe bigger. It's huge, and heavy as shit.
I haven't sent them and info to have one made for us yet....probably been so long they have forgotten.
