Racing Beat Sways Installed
Spend $340.00 delivered for both front and rear sway bars. Had a local tire shop install them for $50.00. Here are my observations:
The car seems tighter and is easier to turn on curves. If you live on country roads or many areas with winding roads, this mod is for you. However, if you live in the ciity or dont take the curves hard this mod is NOT worth it. Enjoy!

The best thing about the RB sways is that you don't need additional suspension, and the ride is no worse than stock. The bad thing is it isn't adjustable, but for the price, who cares.

Also, I paid 230 (used) and did the install with a friend, so you can get these for far cheaper than 400.
The front bar was a real bitch to get in though. The directions from RB on how to turn the wheel to get the bar in isn't optional, it's required.

why would you want coilovers after the rb sways? If you want coilovers you wouldn't want to get the rb sways since they're so stiff.
That's why the mazdaspeed sways are a lot softer..
