Default Rear Swaybar For '04, Recommendations

Hi,
I'm really enjoying my '04, but miss the firmer back end of my '01 Will a rear swaybar alone fix it. I'd like it to handle more like my '01. I'm not interested in a stiffer ride, or doing anything to the front. Just hoping some one has some input for the '04 which really is a different beast when it comes to handling. (Kit? any input?)

if all you want is more oversteer, you should be able to atain it with aftermarket sways (especialy adjustible ones) along with an alignment change; however, you will find it dificult to completely reproduce the handlign characteristics of the '01 without some major changes.

I don't know any of the kits for the s2k yet being a newbie myself

The 04 has a smaller rear sway bar than the other years.

I have an 00-03 sway bar in my garage, it looks brand new. I was going to install it but the car is really nicely balanced for track days.

You want it? I think I paid $100 shipped for it...

Have you had the car aligned yet? If not, safe your money and get a real alignment done on the car first. The 04's come with 0 camber up front and will push alot until you get that corrected.
