Are there any sites that actually have rear sway bars in stock? I have been searching and it seems they all seem to be either out of stock or at least a months delay before shipping

I googled a bit and it looks like Addco still hase the 5th gen in their catalogs.

about 200 greenbacks, my dude. I also found some old threads saying fitment isn't 100% out of the box, but they work well enough.

 

Out of stock on their site just like everywhere else lool, I might try calling them up and seeing if they'll ever have anymore of them

 

Definitely contact Addco directly. Many sites say it ships from the manufacturer.

 

I got a response from Addco,
"That bar is out of stock but if an order were placed for one we would put it into production. The lead time would be 4-6 weeks."

Damn that's a long wait..

 

at least they would make it man ! these cars are old! i am impressed they said they would even make it.

 

I have an Addco bar on one of my cars I can pull and sell if you’re really interested.

 

Definitely interested! Going to send you a PM

 

Not sure what the hype is for rear sway bar on the 5th gens. Within the rear beam assembly lies a torsion bar. It was put there for a reason. The complete rear beam assembly IS a sway bar. Put the rear end in the air one of these days and have a looksy for a minute or two. There's a lot going on under there for a solid axle. Lot's of engineering involved. Now for IRS, yeah, sway bars.

 

The car is designed to be safe at its limit. It will understeer. Tightening the rear will change the balance. Is that good or bad? Totally up to the driver and what they want.

 

Hear, hear!

 

I have the Stillen Rear Sway Bar (and also, the Stillen Front Tower Bar). I have had both for 17+ years.
The RSB eliminated leaning when cornering, and leveled the car nicely. The downside is that on bad roads, there is more "axle hop".
The FTB stiffens the front, with no noticeable side-effects.
Given where/how I drive, I am happy with the outcome. However, I would definitely prefer an independent rear suspension, but that's a different story .... .
