do you know your chassis number? a32... a33... a34?

the a32 (1995-99) and a33 (2000-2003) utilize the same sway bar. Stillen and progress are the two companies that make it

I used a Optimum Yellow top to accomodate for my audio system and to power all of the additional mods. The Yellow top has a 3rd terminal for audio systems and other items like grounding kits, etc. I thought that it would be a better fit for what I have and want to do. I believe that the Red top is good for off-road vehicle use and the Blue top is for certain boats and trucks.

I just bought a 800cca/980ca red top it fires my car up right away compared to the old trashy battery. I have had a 750cca/875ca red top in my 92 for a long time it is still going strong.

being its the same chassis, the rear sway bar should fit. One concern of theirs could be that the suspension might be different.
