1982 gsl rb20 powered rx7:

Currently, I have ordered some Ground control springs/sleeves to mount on my shock tubes on the front like the weld in respeed setup and replace the rear springs with the sleeves/ eibach springs. I ordered Koni yellow struts for the front and rear shorter bilsteins for the back. Both front and rears came from Shox.com for around 500$

I currently have the stock sway on the rear and am building sway bar that fits under my oil pan for the front.

However I amwondering what exactly would be the best sway bar for the rear? I have two, one stock and one about 1". I have heard of removing the rear bar completely but I do not feel as though this is as effective with the rear suspension set-up.

If anyone has experience in this situation that would be great. I have included a picture from granny speed shop to show how the rear suspension will look.

Remove and enjoy


Edit*.Kudos on a cool motor swap. And yes. I recommend removing the rear sway bar all together... It negates the mid corner rebounding that the stock bar creates.. I can't imagine wanting a rear bar back. (Our spec car also runs no rear bar)

lol I need a little more basis than that.

Thanks, it screams! and the oversteer is quite controllable even though I was running her with oem springs/ blad tires and no front sway bar..oddly enough. Will have to try for myself I guess.

Just try it with and without the rear bar, see which you like best. I run an aftermarket adjustable on the rear, with a Respeed bar on the front. Very nicely balanced...

yep. unless you pull the wheel off the ground, the rear bar is completely driver preference.

if you are pulling wheels off the ground, then the sway bar rate vs the spring rate can be really important
