As far as endlinks, I've decided upon Kartboy for both the front and rear.
As far as sway bars, I've narrowed down the brand to Whiteline. The tricky part is deciding exactly which sizes to get. I've done a little reading, and it seems that bigger is generally better and adjustability is obviously a nice feature. However, I'll be running stock springs and struts for a while yet, so I don't want to go too big right off the bat. I've been leaning toward Whiteline's 24 mm adjustable front sway bar, but the rear I'm not so sure about. I'm torn between the 22 mm adjustable bar and the 24 mm adjustable bar. I think the adjustable 27 mm bars are probably too big for both - even on the softest settings.
If I get the 24 mm adjustable rear bar, I should probably look into a set of stout mounts - either Perrin (which seems to be sold out almost everywhere) or Whiteline (which appears to be of a slightly lesser quality). I'd imagine any brand should work since the bolt holes are in the same location, correct? Do I even need this part at all?
I know I'll also need to get the spacers that allow the front Whiteline bar to successfully mate with the front Kartboy endlinks - no big deal, they're only a few bucks.
I don't think I'll need the locking collars for either bar because I'm not doing any hardcore racing just yet. It's just that all together, I'm looking at several hundred bucks, so I want to make sure I'm buying a good combination of parts.
Finally, does anybody anticipate any fitment issues with the equipment I listed since I have an HKS Hi-Power Carbon-Ti cat back? I might crawl underneath my car tomorrow and see how much clearance I have. I'd imagine the aftermarket rear sway bar will sit in the exact same location as the stock bar, correct?
Am I missing anything else?
