rx8 rear sway bar question

I recently bought MS springs, shocks fr strut, rr strut and a few more MS body styling pieces. These are all going on my BLK 06 Shinka next week. I Decided to stay with MS brand items to avoid any problems with the dealer warrenties later on. I was told by the MS parts MGR that I didn't really need a rear sway bar, any thoughts????
Thanks inadvance

You won't get much benefit from MS components.

Your better off saving your money or getting the real stuff.

GO bothe front and rear bars if you must waste your money.

If you stiffen up the front without touching the rear...you will tend to more understeer..ie the front will push more than it already does stock.......better off with a balanced front/rear together.

quite a few people have run a stiffer front bar with the OE rear bar, in particular the MS froint bar

the bar I ran was much stiffer than the MS bar ... it's all in the adjustments

If you go with bars I would go with both. Personally I don't think the MS stuff goes far enough.

Yea, keep the car balanced. I just put in F&R MS strut bars and F&R sway bars, feels great(shocks and springs next month ) Might as well spend the extra $300 and finish the whole MS package.
