Any advantages to either? I've got the Hellwig on now and I've got a friend who's parting out an Ex with the factory rear sway bar. Since we're friends, he'll give it to me for free if I want it or he's going to put it on CL...

 

OEM swaybar is thicker and the end links are better. The Hellwig links are pretty cheap. That said I think that the Hellwig bar may be more effective, provided it doesn't break the links, because the design of the Hellwig doesn't allow it to pivot the way the OEM bar does. I think that the setup I have, Hellwig bar plus custom fabbed oversized links, provides better handling than the OEM bar would since there is only one pivot point versus two pivot points on the OEM setup.

I know my ride is stiff and bouncy as hell but it handles great. Almost no body roll. I can't wait to get a RAS back there, the guy I talked to at RAS said it should smooth the ride out while improving the handling.

Swapping the OEM bar in for the Hellwig should be pretty fast... I'm not sure if you'd have to replace the mounting hardware on the axle or not, but either way it should be really easy.
