Questions:
1. Without actually going out to those sites to look (it would mean hours of surfing around imo and I must resist) :P are these all the same size? What sizes would they be?
2. I've heard that the base models didn't come with a rear sway. Does this mean upgraded rear arms are required? From a GS/ESi or does it have to be a GST/TSi X/AWD?
3. I'm thinking even the base models came with a front sway, but anyone know what size this is?
I'd like to compare the sizes of the of the most popular options here, but my internet will be down here soon for the move and I won't have much time to research until next weekend or so. Personally, I think a softer (stock) front set up with a firmer rear set up could help to dial out some understeer. Nothing worse than hitting a corner and plowing right through it. :P
Thanks fellas.

search for some months back. I took my caliper and meassured the stock on my gs front and rear and compared it the the stillens.
I think I also put the specs for the RM ones, I have a rear one of those.
yes you will need some components from the gs models. Think corbin has a parts list and prices?

Check RMDSM site. They post bar diameters for the different models.
