Ok I've tested the sway bars and I disagree big time. I had the f sport bars. I'm currently running the sikky bar on the second setting and the handling is noticeably better. The rear end will pitch a little if you push it harder but I like that. The end links IMO are very nice on it and they aren't something you can get from home depot. If you don't race then don't buy it. But if you are a track junkie and back road fiend like myself it is a must have. I can not wait to get to the track next spring to play around with the settings and Pre load to see what setting is best for my style of driving. I back this product 100% and I believe the price is fair. It would be nicer if it were a little cheaper but you gotta pay to play and you can play a lot more with this bar vs the f sport. I'm not knocking the f sport one bit. When I first got it nearly 3 years ago I loved it. I feel that the sikky swaybar is far superior. Just my two cents. I hope some others pull the trigger and enjoy this product the way I have this past few weeks.

Awesome, I will definitely be getting this!
Regarding earlier comments about too much oversteer, Sikky states that one of the main reasons for going to this swaybar is larger tires, so it probably would create a lot of oversteer if you have a stock setup (depending on which setting. If I remember correctly from past searches, Jaslapp is running 295mm tires in the rear, so he definitely needs something more aggressive like this. The main benefit is the adjustability to dial things in exactly how you want them. It does seem a tad expensive though. Maybe as Sikky starts coming out with more F parts they can start doing discounts for buying multiple parts together (i.e. come out with an exhaust and then do a 20% discount for buying headers, exhaust, and swaybar together...lol).

I have rear sway endlinks available for $145 that I will release soon. The concern I have with the Sikky version is that they will not be able to be short enough since they use a center coupler. They are also the least expensive rod ends, swaged capture versus the injection molded version I make.EDIT, I see they are using the nicer version of rod ends, so only concern is the length.
These should work no problem with my MEGA arms, but I would suggest you try the arm setup first since it makes its own changes and neutralizes a lot of rear steering issue in conjunction with the rear toe links.
Also rear toe links are not the same as endlinks as we discuss in PM

Ryan you'll enjoy it very much. Yes I am running a larger tire. 295 is correct. Fig I might have to get a set of your Mega arms so I can go wider. Do you think I could fit a 315 tire size on there and what is the width of your rims? Your running a 305 tire right?

19x11 and a 315 I think would be over the top since the bridgestone 305 I tried was about a 315 or a 325 really. I think you would have to square it on a 11.5 or a 12. Your into flare territory.
