Sway Bars

[llckll]

Anyone know where I can get both front and rear sway bars for the FA5? I know progress makes the .22m rear ones but I haven't found front sway bars.

Thanks...

Yea the front is ok for non race applications. It is 22mm. the rear is what needs to be replaced, it is only 17mm so that the car understeers. Someone told me that A-Spec Racing makes a 32mm setup for the FA5, but I still haven't confirmed it. I checked their site and the do see 32mm hollow and solid sway bars depending on what you need. price isn't bad either ($100) Now if they have them for our applications i don't know.

Since the ultimate goal for a FWD street car is to reduce understeer, it doesn't make much sense to beef-up the front sway bar. This is why it's not a common item vs. the rear sway bar.

Why do you want one for the front? If you stiffen the front any more than the stock 22mm, I'd be worried about extreme stress on the endlinks and lower control arm.
