Which Rear Swaybar Would You Choose?

[cali yaris]

What I did was ask if there was interest in the 23mm UR sway bar at the $200 price point. Because that's what it will be if we re-order it. (maybe a little less) --- racerb, pretty sure, said he'd be ok with that pricing level. I have an order pending, but let's see what you guys say in here. (I'll cross post this in your poll thread as well)

If you really want a UR 23mm sway bar right now, they are available on eBay.

The reason I'm pushing Whiteline is because they are motivated to work with us, offer great pricing, and there is ZERO downside to their product -- it's simply better!

Thanks everyone!

Ok, good to know.

Just curious: what do you mean by better? Do you mean less body roll (as in more effective)? or Better quality (have you had issues with the UR)? or do you just mean better customer service?

The reason I ask is this: I had a Mazda2 with RacingBeat rear swaybar; it was not exactly the same setup, but was similar in that it had the "U" brackets that mounted over the beam. While it was VERY effective at keeping the car flat in autocross, I found it to be overkill for daily driving: I constantly had a wheel in the air when turning into driveways, and had to retighten the U-bolts several times to keep it tight against the beam.

Now it appears that the Whiteline does allow for some twist in the beam, which could help to eliminate the "doglegging" problem, however, I am still concerned about having to continually tighten the U-bolts. Also, have you had any issues with squeaking bushings? Eventually, my urethane bushings began squeaking and required removal/relubricating.

While this all may seem like minor maintenance (and it is), and I may seem lazy, its just that I see no need in buying a product that requires this type of maintenance if it is overkill for daily driving / occasional autocross when other options are "install and forget it".

Your input is greatly appreciated!
