I know that SLP sells the 35mm front bar and a 24mm rear bar. I wonder if that's possibly an upgradeable front suspension package from the factory.

The "1LE" 21mm rear bar was only used on '93, '01-'02 1LE cars. Otherwise, all fourhgen V8 cars have a 19mm rear bar. 24 is too much rear bar IMO. Bigger isn't always better.

i agree that a bigger bar isn't always better for the autoX. But what about a big bar for the strip. I would think it would help the car launch a little more level???????

I believe the SS's only have a bigger front bar, the rear bar is the same.

On my 00', I opted for the "Bilstein Ultra Performance Suspension", and it came with the 32mm bar up front, 21mm bar in the rear, reinforced LCA's and panhard bar(poly bushings is all), Eibach springs(2000 was the only year they used Eibach springs for the upgraded suspension, that's why the 00's sit about 1/2" lower than other year upgraded suspension cars), and the upgraded Bilstein shocks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
