'99 GXE/factory Sway bar?

Orphan72 · Mar 28th, 2006, 03:42 PM

This has been approached before, but here it goes again. I have a '99 and was looking underneath to see if I could find the cat-back on my car. I discovered two things:
First - no cat-back.
Second - what could possibly be a factory sway bar up front.

On the first part, when I get my Stromung, should I get the one with the resonator or no?
On the 2nd, did the GXE's come with one in front? If it helps, she is one of those LE's, Limited Edition's. I had read somewhere that the rear sway bar might be part of the rear beam, but I didn't see anything like that. I will get pics soon as possible.

yep... i would get the one with teh resonator..
although i've never had the chance to hear what one with out sounds like but i would imagine it would sound like mine did with out a res. (shitty! like a honda sound)

and yes the LE did come with the sway bars... i have the same car...

Well that makes a big difference then. You wouldn't happen to have anything with all the specs for the LE's would you? Scratch that. Point me in the right direction and I will try to find it my self.

This would make a difference as far as if I get one for the front or not. I assume I will still need to replace it, right? I am getting ahead of myself. If I have the sway bars and the front and rear STB's, then next I will look in to the Tein Basics.

While I wouldn't say it was honda-ish

I will say that it definitely has it's own sound. Am talking to a local shop about this and whether I would need theres or not or whether another aftermarket cat or whatever would work.

and since I didn't say it before, thanks.

Getting a larger front swaybar only increases under-steer. Leave the front bar alone for now. Get the Progress rear sway and tein basics. Next get the progress front control arm brace and STB's. Best bang for the buck. WHile your at it get the whiteline caster bushings for the front.

Much appreciated, Wes. Progress rear sway, Tein Basics, Progress front control arm brace, and then Whiteline caster bushings. Got it.
