Default Best spent $220 & 1.5 hrs.! Neuspeed rear 19mm sway bar. My impression...

Well, after reading what everyone had to say about this sway bar I decided to go for it. It took me 1.5 hours to install. It's quite easy and the quality of the kit is very good.

I took it out on a very familiar twisty road in the Santa Cruz mountains and I love it. I have stock suspension except for this bar. If pushed you can induce some power on oversteer but for all but the most aggressive times it still feels very neutral.

Okay, now a question: Who has stock suspension and both front & rear sway bars? What is the ride like?

Default I have stock front and Neuspeed rear, couple of comments

A huge improvement for little $ on a stock suspension (even on soft setting). Only downside is keeping the bushings lubed in a northern area (snow, salt, etc) is a bit of a pain.

Try a search on an upgraded front bar and you'll likely find very few who have installed. It's not really necessary. A thicker front bar will tip the balance toward more understeer.
