Hey all,

I am going to be replacing my rear factory sway bar over the winter (**** out, bizzalls to he wizzalls!!). I am looking for some owner opinions on the bar you chose/ recommend and why. I plan on getting into some auto-crossing when winter lifts here in the Va. area and am torn between the following 2 options:

1) 1" diameter rear bar from Compass Motor Sports
2) Suspension Techniques Rear Bar

There is approximately a 30-40 dollar difference in price so I am less concerned with cost and more interested in the benefits/drawbacks each bar may offer. Any comments/suggestions appreciated.

well, if you want the **** out and yo bizzalls to wizzalls, then get the compass 1"...if your just looking for *** out and ***** to the walls, grab the ST.... even at that, i'd go for the compass anyway....help support the little guys and its warrantied even under racing conditions!!!

I have an old RMM bar now, and it's not enough rotation for me, while it can get sideways i still want more.

it's my next purchase

hmmm, i was thinking of the CMS rear bar and a lower tie bar for starters....now i need to add the ST front bar to my list....

Well guys, the info is helpful. I guess the decision is mine to make at this point. Not so sure I want to add an additional front bar. I'll have to play a bit with setup to fit my driving style. Worse case scenario I bite it and have to get the ST front bar as suggested.
I hope to be running some Kumho 205-50-15 victo's at the track so I am certain the grip will be above my above average driving skills (at least for this year). Do you really think trail braking is gonna be that bad especially with these gummy tires? I was thinking this set-up may give me just enough rotation without swapping ends at every corner.
I know PseudoReality indicated he was running Lx front and a ST front combo....but anyone just run the lx front and CMS bar? Or have you tried this lx and CMS combination and found it to much to handle?
