Upgrade Rear Sway Bar only?
I was looking at the Cobb and Hotchkis Anti-Sway bar kits for the X. I've heard the front sway bar is a bear to install.
Would installing an upgraded rear sway bar only be of any benefit? If so, what setting (rate increase) would be best? The rest of the suspension is all stock.
Or would a thicker bar/higher rate in the rear make the handling worse?

thicker rear bar will increase oversteer causing the rear to step out easier also it will make the car more stable. i have the cobb rear sway installed and set of the middle. i haven't had a time to drive the car hard yet. i did take an onramp fast and the car felt good.

like ^^ said. RSB will help stiffen up the feel of the car and induce more oversteer. good thing for handling and racing. the setting depends on what you like, what you do, and which bar you go with. do not have any experience with the X's but when i go to upgrade ill be going with Robispec, some good stuff. gl with the purchase man and enjoy
