The gal I spoke with at Addco relayed that a -rear- bar for the UCF20 (Specifically 95-97 but we know that this carries to the'98-'00 as well.) is in R&D and to check back in 3-4 weeks for status. There is an order so this project looks like it will go through.

The part# she gave me is: 2027.

If Daizen offers a bar this would also be a strong contender but a matter of when for us second gen.

Mike-

Do the Energy Suspension bushings fit in the stock mount? I am wonderng if the stabilizer on the rear mount has any impact on vibration...do you notice anything in that way?

My local PB didn't have any when I checked this evening.

I'm sorry I'm not too experienced in suspensions, but do I need a swaybar to begin with in order to do this mod? Is that the case with the rear bushing, too?

You can use your stock sway bar. You swap the old bushings for using the included new brackets as Lexkost did. This will reduce body roll and improve handling and for the price, it is a winner.

You can order them from Pep Boys , Auto Zone , remember to use the part numbers in the threat I listed and if you live near me I can install them , if needed.
