Default Mugen sway bars..whose got 'em?

Mugen Stabilizer

This stabilizer minimizes vehicle rolling during cornering by creating a spring-like effect due to its twisting. The original type stabilizer allows steering characteristics to be tuned by selecting the thickness and hence the wheel rate. The kit also includes two stabilizer bushes for the body mountings. The rear stabilizer kits are supplied with a chassis reinforcement kit.

Most folks DON'T want a larger rear bar and I question the other sizes' usefulness. You'd need to know what's different compared to stock (are they solid or a differenc wall thickness?).

I can not say anything about the Mugen because I did not get the sway bar, but if you are really interested in it, call to find out availability first.

I waited over 6 months for my order to be filled, and eventually I cancelled the order because I refused to wait any longer. Maybe now they actually have these in stock...

you don't want a rear sway bar unless it's adjustible. I'd go so far as to say the same for the front.

I bought a Mugen 30mm rear bar used last year, combined with a Comptech adj front bar the car is very responsive, that said I was getting lots of wheel spin on corner exit.

I switched back to the stock rear.

I think I will just try heavier springs next.

PS the rear 30mm bar is for sale..

I had the "big" Mugen bar (30.8mm IIRC) which is no longer available. Wasn't stiff enough to keep the rear inside wheel planted at the DC National Tour event this year. I have the Gendron now, night and day. Never changed the rear bar.
