What are you talking about they are huge?? our front stock sway bar at least 2001 and 2002 have a 1" front bar so that isn't really an upgrade. The rear is is about 24mm, which is kinda big, too big if you ask me.

Rep Power: 0 haha you're right, i just didnt know how many mm were in an inch. it seemed pretty big 
a progress front and a ST rear might work out pretty nice, your handling might not feel right though (like it wont feel balanced like stock)

Rep Power: 412 Haha its ok. 25.4mm = 1" just for a reference. I would just stick with the whole progress bar. Is the ST one adjustable is the question?

Rep Power: 380 Stock is hardly balanced (Understeer sucks, but its safe for "Normal" drivers)
at any one time in a corner a car can be doing one of 3 things, It will be eithre Understeering, Nutural steering or oversteering. When your car does these things is determind by the springs and Anti-rollbars.
A stock setup, for most cars, will Understeer in Low and Mid speed corners and finaly (Maybe) be nutural in Higher speed corners. This is fine for the average driver (Yes, sadly 90% of us here are "AVERAGE") Understeer is safe, and keeps people from getting in to to much trouble. Sucks from a performance viewpoint though.

Rep Power: 0 too bad comptech doesn't make front sway bars for our car...
on a side note tho, are those end links they are selling any good? There is no picture..will they fit our car? 20 bucks a piece doesn't sound that bad.

Hmm... They might. $20 a piece is very close to the price of my endlinks. I don't know if they come with hardware though? If they did, then that would be a very good deal.

Since I think you have the most experience on our end links so far on the forum?
