Best is a reletive term. What are you planning to do with the car. Street only, Autocross, Track, Drift, .......
And then, most people don't swap many different brands of swaybars. They buy one and then will tell you that they made the best decision.

i need it for canyons. Griping turns and things like that. better handling without so much giving out.

You should replace both. Changing just the rear will throw off the dynamics of the car.

Yes, just changing the rear will cause the car to oversteer. I find the car is too loose all ready. What ever you decide, buy a matched set from the same company.

how much would it be for the front and rear one of the tanabe? the bars and the things that connect them.

check our forum vendors, they will have prices for you.

P.S. I did not list them in order of "best", just the order they came to mind in. Choose wisely

There's one I would add to that list, Agency Power (adjustable). One other that has been popular, but I haven't heard about for a while, is Whiteline. If you are going to add lowering springs, you are also going to need adjustable endlinks for the swaybars.

I defintely love the Agency Power on our Project Car. It reduces the body roll tremendously. Very nice mod for the RX-8 IMO. Wish it was my first....

But yeah pm me if you are interested on anything for you RX-8 and we can help you out.

Let me know what you are looking for.

I had tanabe and thought they were great. Zero body roll! I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever you get.
