sway bars front and back?

Hi,

Looking at replacing my front sway bar . However I can't add one to the trunk due to having a Zen Enclosure sub box.

Should I skip doing this or will it matter?

Thanks,

Brian

I think you mean strut bars.
strut bars = in engine bay and across the trunk
sway bars = underneath the car

Just get sway bars, you'll be all set

you could get front and rear sways and a front strut. I forgot who makes the rear strut that actually lays against the floor of the trunk

we already have strut bars.. most after market ones are just for looks and are pointless. if you want you can get the factory bar dipped in chrome... sway bars will change your world similar to having a child.. anyway yea.

plenty rear struts that bolt down at the floor. re-amemiya, feed, beatrush, etc. but i don't think it'll fit. still not enough room with the zen closure.

front and rear sways and a front strut bar would work though.

Sway bars will be more noticable than strut bars. I have Racing Beat F&R Sways and I love them. Great mod for the money.

I have progress tech sways setting in my closet waiting to be installed. For the money and being adjustable, you can't beat em.

Somewhat right, we have a front strut bar but not a rear. The MS front bar has that master cylinder brace, not to sure if it does anything for pedal feel. Though without it you can definitely see the MC move, with it there is no movement.

I do agree, get sways
