I dont know, Try to find a factory service mannual on line. It will give you ALL the specs you could ever need. I have a s13 or I would mesure mine. Sorry, good luck

Why would you upgrade the rear, are you having problems with understeer?

no, I don't think you understand what I'm asking.

The does car currently understeer at the limit? If it does, it only makes sense to get a bigger rear sway bar.

I'd be suprised if it understeered at the limit. My stock s14 was crazy tail happy stock.

you must have had a se. se with small rear tires. the s14 base will understeer with grippy rear tires

Yeah I have a SE, but when it was stock it had the same size tires front and rear. What's different about the base?

Normally, I'd recommend seeing how the car handles first before many any suspension changes. There are plenty of other cheaper ways to cure understeer than get a bigger rear sway bar (ie. more negative camber in the front).

Even more important, the se has a rear sway.
The base only has a front stock.

that would make a lot more sense.
