I don't have the autocrossing experience John has nor do any of my cars look as good as his. But I would like to put a penny worth on the table. I would highly recommend spending a little extra money when it come to sway bars and get some decent adjustable bars, especially if you use a welded rear. The added flexibility of being able to adjust the bars according to the course you are running will pay off in the long run.

I ran an ITS 280 with a welded rear and non-adjustable bars. It just had way to much oversteer with the bars I was running and even by swapping out for the stock bar I never could get the car to handle the way I liked, especially when I was racing in the rain. The more adjustability you build into the car the better of you will be when it comes time to run a different course, and that is primarily what autocrossing is, it's not like running around the same race track weekend after weekend. No two autocross courses are ever going to be exactly the same even if it is in the same parking lot.

This is the one mod I swear by. Adjustable bars make/break car handling. Had them on my MR2 and a Civic 4 door, the difference was outrageous from stock/modded. :geek:

Jim Cook racing used to have them, but since he is no longer Z specific in his business that may be a long shot. I believe you can get them through Ground Control. MSA has adjustable end links available for the stock type bars with two different settings, and they are quite cheap if you already have a set of bars you like but want to try a little adjustability. They are about 40 something a pair so compared to probably 200+ for a true adjustable sway bar they might be just the ticket.

BTW, most adjustable bars merely have an adjustable end link, just a different end on the bar where it connects to the end link.
