Hey guys, I'm planning on buying sway bars for my 05 hatchback. Wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a good kit to buy? And also if anyone has a good link for them? thanks.

I guess youre talkinga bout rear sway bars?
Cheap upgrade would be to get one from a salvaged MS3, at the wreckers

the stiffest would be tri-point adjustable rear sway bar if i recall correctly. the racing beat rsb, non adjustable, falls in between the 2nd and 3rd stiffest setting on the tri-point rsb. be careful though, as too stiff of a setting could upset the handling of the car (too much oversteer).

Go Racing Beat rear sway bar. There may be one on sale at NextMod. Check sponsors section.

Stiffest would be probably the Whiteline 27mm for the MS3. You can use them on a normal 3 with an adapter.

Aren't OEM MS3 rear sways like $150 at the dealer?

Most popular ones out there are eibach and Corksport and Racing beat.

not only that, but if u use the stiffest setting, be ready to change the oem rear end links from time to time.

i have a progress rear sway bar that i will be taking off this weekend/monday next week as i'm trading in my car. it has served me well, but i'm moving on. i also have the eibach endlinks to go with it, but i never got around to installing it....

i don't know if hatch/sedan are the same part though.
