Hotchkis, Eibach or Tenabe?

Can anyone point me to where is there a thread about sway bars? Or better yet, any recomendations on the above brands? I'm looking to improve the cornering on my 8, please advice, Thanks.

I bought the racing beat anti sway bars and love them. I am sure any anti sway bar will improve the handling of your 8. I got the racing beat bars since they were the only site to give performance data

Thanks for the recommendation on the Racing beat bars, they are a bit more pricy that the rest frontg is $185 and rear $155 plus shipping I think, the rest are about $325 or so with shipping on ebay.

Have you looked at the progress bars, they are probably the stiffest out there. They are also adjustable. I believe Charles R. Hill can get them for you for about 270 shipped but don't quote me on that.

Did you put them on already? How does the ride feel? For anyone that has them, how does the car ride? and what springs are you using? Thanks

I got the front RB bar and end links from good-win.

The stock end links SUCK. Why does mazda insist on the use of plastic on the hardcore suspension parts? I broke them on my '03 custom turbo protege while beating around some back rodes and I broke on my 8 a while ago (sometime before the DGRR trip)... either way... get the beefier RB ones, they'll come in handy!
