lol thats pretty fkn thick, heavier muscle cars and supras etc tend to have pretty thick aftermarket sway bars but for our cars I know whiteline have 20mm for rear but anymore than 24mm would be pointless.
Suspension Technique sway bars :

Front = 24mm
Rear = 22mm

Gotcha. Thanks!

1994 Celica GT, coupe, 5 speed.Front strut brace, cherrybomb glasspack, intake.
such a pitty that the only company C-One that makes an aftermarket sway bar for the SuperStrut Suspension only make them in 18mm. it should be thicker right?!

Has anyone use the C-One sway bars I was thinking of getting a set for the GT4

GT-FOURpl is the only one I've actually seen with one (though he's just got the car running again I think)

brands just for bragging rights, 19mm is plenty thick for the rear if its adjustable and/or you have shorter/stiffer end links, remember that size isn't the most important thing, the difference between soft setting and hard setting is ALOT.

I have a 20mm at the rear on hard setting and a stock 20mm at the front and you can definitely feel the oversteer, it almost feels as if its in need of a thicker one at the front on hard as it feels it rolls too much up front.

Also, even if it is a badly made sway bar Id say it would snap off where the end link bolts up before the sway bar would snap but that would be pretty extreme.

Front Sway Bar from C-One is only 18mm. I'm saying its small because if you compare it to the suspension technique front sway bar at 24mm and an aftermarket sway bar for the Integra Type R at 25mm its considerably smaller wouldn't you say

you can't really compare sway bars by their thicknesses alone..
if anyone is really curious and willing to ask these companies and find out what type of metal is used in making these sway bars, i can find out which one is better.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
^ Thats right. What metal they use and if its hollow or filled.

^you have whiteline front and rear??

I'm Comparing the C-One Sway bar used on Superstrut Suspension vs the Suspension Technique used on McPherson Suspension. Two total different suspensions set ups

Im about to lose it. Freagin have some loose part or something lose in the engine that is loose when I give it gas really fast on and off in 3rd gear when I'm at 2,000 rpm. I tightened motor mounts to 64 ft lb tq. But it still makes the same noise. The thing that pisses me off so bad is the stupid front sway bar. How the hell are you supposed to take off the bolts that hold it down. You only have such limited space with the allen wrench wtf!!!! Im going and try to tackle it tomorrow but can someone help me or give me some tips in how to make my life much easier with those damn screws!!!

Yes I have the ST sway bars with the polyurethane bushings. I believe they need some grease which could be causing the clunking noise! help!!?? mad.gif

wow dude it clearly states that the old version Suspension Tecnique sway bars use to hit the frame. The new ones don't.

Your only option is Suspension Technique sway bars front and rear should cost you around $300 ish plus shipping. They come powder coated lime green so that you know they are the 2nd version. they work great get them!!!

yaa.. i seen that it said the old ones hit and then somethin about newer version was better along the way but i still seen some posts about noises. so i was just asking dude.

>oo also for the front Super Strut Set up. Which end links can I use:

-Two R Us ST185 end links ???

or

-Racing Beat Miata end Links???


Oh wow, wait a sec, the TwosRus 185 endlinks work with the st202/205 Superstrut?

(\__/)(='.'=) This is bunny. Copy and paste bunny into your(")_(") signature to help him gain world domination.
I doubt any of those would fit, since they are USA shops (and USA didn't get 6th gen superstrut)

best bet would be to check UK/europe aust NZ and Japanese sites for those parts. Fensports do some for the SS ST205 and ST202 (not too sure what suspension set up

what end links do we use for the rear ST sway bars? i have KYB struts .. idk much about the suspension deal lol

st205 powered ss3 coupe

ya i looked thru D's profile but it doesnt say he upgraded his sway bars.. so idk if it would work on the aftermarket sway bars u kno?

st205 powered ss3 coupe
yeah they work culp has them on his celi
as to how the hell this even happened I have no clue! pot hole doubt it driving so much in the canyons that it suddenly decided to break off??!

also the left side a arm is about 40,000 miles old and the car has 130,000 miles on it. The insurance company replaced it when my bro crashed this car by going up a curb and into some bushes, which was then handed over to me smile.gif but this is so weird! welding is a quick fix, but if its weldable when I ask around and snaps again. I'll need a used one!!!

I've heard of this happening on the rear but not the front, I guess the sway bar was so stiff it snapped it, can see how it happened...and no wonder it was clunking haha, my rear came slightly loose and made lots of noise.

yes hopefully i can get a quick fix that will last me another 8,000 miles. I planned on going to the canyons but now I have to fix this. I need to loosen the polyurethane bushings so I can lube them up and move the sway bar. Hopefully I didn't twist the sway bar. I hate greasing up the front sway bars such a pain in the ass!!! frown.gif
