Default Need Help tonight, sway bar

I have been looking for about 30 min and i can't find a website to buy a comptech rear sway/tie bar combo. If someone would send me a link or knows where i could get one at a cheap price.

go with a Type R sway bar. get the wek sos kit or if you are feeling industrious the bar and reinforcement mechanism can be had for around $100.

Ok thanks for the help guys. I just placed an order. One last question... do i need to reinforce anything or can the rest of the stock parts handle the coilovers, shocks and this kit?

the main weak point when going to a 22+mm rear bar is the subframe isnt reinforced like it is on itr's which can lead to tearing the subframe. this kit pretty much eliminates that chance. you might also want to look at replacing the trailing arm bushings if they're starting to go out.

Well the order was on back order so they gave me my money back. They said it would take 2-3 weeks so i got it at www.jhpusa.com for $3 less. I will take before and after pics when i install. I'm planing on doing the install next friday. Thanks for the help guys.

So i got my kit today and spent 7 hours trying to install it. Has anyone else had problems getting the holes to line up? mine are about 1/2 inch off on the lower control arms holes. And the same on the lower holes for the sway bar mount. Also while i was working down there i broke the spot welds on my koni shock. Now my car doesn't have a sway bar at all. I need some help. Do you think it is a bad part or is there a trick to the install?
