So, I've owned a few cars in the past where I wanted to improve the cornering via a sway bar change. After much research it was clear that on those car I only had to replace the rear bar as the front was adequate.

On the RX-8, is it the same? Should I replace both front and rear, or is it just necesarry to replace the rear. I don't mind buying both, but don't want to buy a front one if it will just be a waste.

thanks. I searched and all I found was a lot threads where people bought the entire kit.

 

Buying a front is far from a waste. Get a set from the same company also, most are designed to go in as a set. You can however do the rear and a few weeks later do the front if money is an issue. The best money I spent on my 8 was the Racing Beat Front / Rear sways.

 

Thanks, I'll order the set then.

 

most FWD or AWD you could just buy the rear, but RWD you should get both.

 

Get adjustable bars, like WhiteLine, if you want best results w/different driving conditions, otherwise any fixed bar set is the way to go. Choice is how much bar you want/need .... they all are NOT the same as far as effect on car handling/leaning. Some are softer (usually to go with stiff springs) or stiffer (to go with softer/OEM) springs.

 

rb sways work really well with the stock suspension. They're stiffer than whiteline and aren't going to slip around.
