    yea i think its eibach, which is the same as cobb sways.
    so a 22mm eibach wouldnt be the same as a whiteline 22mm

    Hollow being "bad"?

    The RCE Sway bars are the hot setup. Let me know if you want a set Ill get you a good deal on them.

    "hollow" is a term loosely used to generate more money in most applications. Before all the nasioc fanclub chime in, a hollow sway-bar may weigh less but more or less a waste of money. There is plenty of weight to remove before you should be concerned with how much a sway weighs

    You will want both eventually, the car just doesn't balance out well without both bars.

    ^^ This.

    Why would you do the rear without the front?

    Yes i will be getting Front and rear, but have only ordered the rear for now.



    I decided for what i can afford at this time, i would start with the RSB because it would give me the most noticable change in handling. But also it because seemed a common place to start for suspension upgrades.

    i believe the hollow 22mm isnt a 'true' 22mm bar, and that they arent as stiff as a solid bar

    So it would be equivalent to a ____mm Solid bar...? (if it were hollow)

    i remember reading somewhere that a 30mm hollow would be similar to a 25mm solid? i forgot

    So its not necessarily a bad thing correct? As long as it keeps its integrity shouldnt it be ok? as far as Stiffness, i want to see how the 22mm Eibachs feel and go from there.

    Do the front too! Trust me...it's worth it.

    I have the RCE sways (thanks TopSpeed) with the rear on the soft setting and the front on the stiff. Incredible how it transformed the car.

    I'm still not sold on RCE versus Whiteline in this argument. Nevertheless, solid bars always tend to be a better purchase than the hollow (eg Hotchkis).

    And how did it transform? Were you able to drive the car with just one of the swaybars on to feel the difference? Or did you just put them both on?

    People tend to forget that suspension needs to be looked at as a whole package, you can't buy anything without looking at what the effect will be on other componets.

    Whiteline makes great bars but from what I have seen so far I would much prefer the RCE bars on most cars.

    My car currently has whitelines by the way.

    Read over this to see all of the technical reasons.

    I didn't do just one at a time, but the reality is that you want to prevent body roll and increase grip on the front and rear of the car to really be effective.
