I run a 22mm adjustable progress bar on my s13. Solid on the stiff setting!

ive heard tanabe sustech are nice.
whiteline are legit, no crazy labels just performance. they have been in the game a LONG time so they are really good.
im getting st(suspension techniques) there lime green, beefy and come with end links when you get em from enjuku racing.com so there backed by them and on there cars.

just get something that is both thick and adjustable, that way you can play with it a little. Just because someone runs a certain size bar doesn't mean that's what you should buy, some peoples opinions/setups can be completely wrong and usually are.

OE SE rear bar and put the savings into coilovers and your golden.

Alot of ppl dont even have a rear sway bar, or at least disconnect an endlink. Some decent springs should be good enough.

Tanabe Racing Development USA /inc.

27.5 mm diameter bar -- good for the drift. But thing is, I called Tanabe, and they actually have stiffness numbers for the swaybars. It's a lot more useful than just knowing how big the bar is... that way, you can really tune your suspension stiffness... like add in the stiffness of the springs + swaybars and get some really good calculations.

Im actually thinking of changing my rear sway out for a smaller one because my 240 oversteers way too much, its only with crappy tires though, with good tires its perfect, but its not always easy to find good used tires.
