which one do u think will be better
suspension tech which is front 1 1/8 in. (1.125 in) rear 13/16 in. (0.8125 in.)
or Tanabe Sustec Stabilizer which is front 30.4 mm (1.1968503937007874015748031496063 in.) nd rear 27.5 mm (1.0826771653543307086614173228346 in.)

da cost is 120 dollars differnce but i dont care bout that, and i dont care if my car is really bumpy on streets. i just want to know if, could there be such thing as runnning too stiff, giving me bad handliing.? i dont know which one will be better for my car. i hav a s14.

out of those 2 choices, i would go with Tanabe.
however, may i suggest something? why not wait for the Works Yamaguchi bars to be released? they seem very promising.

What kind of springs are you running? If coilovers or stiff springs I would go with the Tanabe or something similar in size. If they are just your average lowering springs, go with ST or whiteline.

they are new bars being built here in USA and they are going to have various sizes and endlinks. i am guessing they wont carry a hefty price tag.

The thicker sway bar should keep you flatter through the turns that the thinner, but at those sizes I'm not sure you will notice a real difference unless you're going to the track all the time. It's won't have too much effect on the bumpiness of your car, that's mostly springs/shocks. For 120 I would just get the ST but thats just me. Have you looked into whiteline sb? They are adjustable and only like 80 more than the ST. I'm sure the ST are fine though, the JIC s13 uses them and it competes in D1. So, i guess my vote is for the ST because they're cheapest, but im cheap so.......yea. I want more info on those WORKS or whatever they are, if theyre cheap, im there. Oh,and its true that you get what you pay for, but I've never heard of problems with sway bars, so I don't think you'll have a problem with any of the ones listed in this thread. And unless you're hardcore drifting daily or a track guy, you probably won't notice too much difference driving with any of the sways, you'll only notice the difference in your wallet. I would also suggest replacing the D bushings that hold the sway bar to the chassis. You can get urethane replacements and that will make a good difference in your handling also.

Upgraded sways make a very noticeable difference even in daily driving. You'll feel them around the first turn, but none at all in a straight line. Nice upgrade even on a stock suspension, so long as you don't get super thick ones. I had whitelines and loved em.
