Suspension Techniques...

...Rear Sway Bar: anyone know if this is any good? My RSB bushings are shot where it attaches to the bottom of the strut, and they don't look like they are easy to replace. Nissan sells the bushings at $15 a side; or the stock RSB for about $145; Summit has the Suspension Tech. for about $120. I want to keep it close to stock ride, although I've got Eibachs and Kyb's on it.

Thanks,
Steve

Why? The ST RSB is perfectly fine. Addco also makes a RSB for our cars.

the addco rsb is almost double the diameter of the stock rsb, and includes polyurethane bushings. i was lucky enough to find my addco rsb in the 3rd gen parts for sale section for 110 shipped. keep your eyes open and you'll find a good deal, but ther's no reason to buy a stock rsb that wil pulverize your rubber bushings again. get a set of links from matt blehm's site, and you have an indestructable *** end maxima.

Suspension Techniques rear bar is 3/4" in thickness and the Addco unit is 7/8". you're not going to notice the extra 1/8 in normal street driving. Both are thicker than the stock bar and either unit will improve your supension setup greatly.

That makes sense . You will get as far as Addco and your search will end.

ST sway bars are fine. I have had no problems with mine and it really firmed up the rear of the car.
