Sway bars

[hellah fresh]

I was wondering. If i get both front and rear lower sway bars... is there a point of me getting lower rear strut bars???

It helps keep the chassis from flexing around corners just like having the upper strut bars...

I know that. I was just asking if theres a point of me getting rear lower struts when im getting both lower front and rear sway bars?

So rear lower front and rear sway bars..???

and lower rear struts???

Or no point of getting rear lower struts when your getting both lower sway bars..??? get what im saying =p i dont mean to be confusing.

yes, sway bars attach to the shocks and strut bars attach to the chassis, so yes, they do different things

THere is now "upper" or "lower" swaybar. Just one on each end of the car. The connect to the control arms actually. Basically hold the car flatter without increasing static spring rate. If both wheels are doing the same thing the add no extra harshness. If one wheel drops in a pothole or hits a bump, it acts against the other wheel, increasing the spring rate. The strut bars are just structural reinforcements, which i've posted extensively about in the past. That being said, I think upgraded sway bars are a great mod, and I often wish I just did stock suspension with RM bars. I rode in a car like this, felt comfortable as stock, but cornered nearly as good as my CO setup.

ok you guys giving me good feed backs. But your not getting what im trying to say.


there is:
1. front lower sway bars
2. rear lower sway bars
3. rear lower tie bars

so what im asking if i buy # 1 and 2... do i need to get #3 as well?

or is # 2 and 3 are the same things?

Thats not uncommon when poeple use the wrong terminology

Dont need #3 on a AWD DSM, they are well braced from the factory. No idea about FWDs.
