I finally got around to installing my RSB. Works great. I love the difference but they sent the wrong bolts in my package. I bought this on a group deal through Cattman. I think Mentat had the same problem.

Just thought I would mention that the right size bolt is M12 x 35mm x 1.25 fine thread. I had to go to a few different places to find it. Make sure you get one that is fully threaded.

Wanted to save someone else some time. Hopefully future ones will have the right hardware. Good luck and thanks Lordrandall for the write-up.

ill have to remember that cause after my motors done ill be doing the suspension.

 

Yeh i'm researching suspension right now, sway bar will come first or last to springs/struts?

 

last in most cases

 

Do it first and don't look back

 

You need to get around to fixing yours.

 

dave, your banned

Hmm I wonder if the ST RSB needs it too?

 

I did my RSB after the springs/struts but others here may have a better suggestion. Just do it all at the same time if you have the money. It sure makes a difference.

I don't know about the hardware with any of the other bars. They just did not put in the right bolts with mine and it was a pain and a lot of wasted time trying to find them at local stores.

Good luck to all doing this mod. Definitely worth it.

Would you guys recomend both front and rear or is rear sufficent?
Thanks

 

Not sure on the GXE model that you have but I thought the stock sway bar was sufficient on the SE model.

I think ADDCO only makes the rear sway but I am not sure. Maybe someone else can chime in on this.

Just the rear did the trick for my car. I have a 93 se auto.

Yeh, i've only seen addco RSB's but Cattman's site has a pretty decent deal on the addco RSB + cattman FSTB for 300. I was thinking if I was to get one, I might as well do both. I've heard a lot of great things about each of them.

 

Both GXE and SE models have identical front sway bars. SE models have a rear bar some pathetic number of millimeters larger, like 1 or 2mm. Yay.

 

Definitely do front and rear struts. I added Tokicos and DAMN... Quite a difference! Very nice.

 

I got my ADDCO RSB for $122 shipped from Cattman through a group deal about 3 months ago. I got a FSTB for about $45 on ebay (the one for the 2000 model). Don't spend $300 to include a FSTB. Just look for a good deal on the RSB.

ADDCO only makes rear strut bar, Suspension Techniques makes front and rear.

 

i removed my stock sway (tore a stock bushing while replacing my rear struts so i decided to put the addco in) first off the bolts were all wrong, they didnt fit the ends, they didnt give me any for the end links. now with my endlinks the drivers side has studs and the passengers has threaded bolt holes! any ideas on how to remove the studs? they're too big to fit the addco's bracket and i broke one.

 

I handle the addco and suspension tech sway bars. sorry no FSTBs yet.
PM or e-mail me if you wanna know more.
