Hi all, been doing as much research as possible and this is what I've come up with please let me know if you have any other suggestions in the same price bracket!

Cusco 22mm and 19mm
Front and rear sway bars $487

White Line 22mm and 20mm
Front and rear sway bars $530

White Line 22mm and 20mm
front and rear sway bar plus strut brace $582

I'm leaning toward the cusco as I've read they have the best fitment but i'm worried about after sales service and will other components work with them? The second white line option is probably best value but I've read that strut braces do sweet F all

Opinions/suggestions? Cheers!
Will be coupled with bc v1 coilovers very shortly, if that's any help, rest of the suspension is stock as far as I can tell apart from a couple new bushes cheers

I would add some heavy duty links for the rear sway as well (not sure if the front needs them), the stock ones have been known to snap with a bigger bar

Thanks, i'm wondering if the front sway bar is a bit overkill from what I've been reading it isn't a massively important upgrade, wonder if I should focus on getting the rear end sorted properly first....

Correct.

 

I've upgraded the front endlinks on the factory swaybar and it's fine.

My advice:

 

go with whatever is the most cost effective swaybar.

 

at the end of the day, it's just a stiff bit of metal. after sales support? you get none from any of them anyways.

 

use good links too.

 

 

strut braces are a great mod, and should be factored in also. Actually, it should be one of your first mods, along with braided brake lines and a master cylinder stopper.
