what sway bars should I get

OK before you put me on blast I have been reading the search and I still found no answer. I have an 02 coupe and I want to get some sway bars, I have 3 questions

1) do I already have stock sway bars?
2) what size sway bars should I get, I already have Tein S type spring installed?
3) Where can I get these bars, I am looking to buy them after christmas?

1) Look under the car and let us know...but yes you do.
2) Get whatever size/price fits your needs.
3) the dealers on the site.

You have to figure out
1) Why you want sway bars
2) How different bars will affect the handling of the car
3) The goals that you have for the car.

I suggest not purchasing anything until you understand those three things. In addition, I highly suggest upgrading your shocks first.

Just FYI, next time you have a broad question like this one, please mention why you are interested in the parts, what are the goals for the car, and how much money you are willing to spend. This info can help us better give you good advice. Most of the parts are listed in the FAQ with Sway bar sizes. Also, check the Autox FAQ and Mike Kojima's page for some suspension info. Good luck!

same as my name here. I use that name for every forum/instant messaging/etc program. I'm easy to find that way...not that most people want to find me.

You don't need large sway bars for that much power. You need a good set of springs and shocks along with good tires. Sway bars are lateral movement, not straight line movement. Unless you plan on autoxing/road racing.

More research, better focused question, then try again.
These vague posts are useless.
Figure out what you want, tell us what you want, EXACTLY, then post information so it at least looks like you understand what you're talking about.
Its much easier to sort out confusion than it is to read minds.
