Default looking to get best sway bar kit.

i have a '03 SXT that did not come stock with a rear sway bar and i've heard good things about Hotchikis but don't know if they have proper hardware to attach to my car that never had a rear sway bar, i do know the Eibach has hardware for cars that didn't come stock with rear sway bar but i'm not sure of the other brands and i want good quality

You could find a sway bar off a srt4, unless your going to be doing some autocrossing their is no need for 22mm sway bar, other than the looks of them. When you buy a sway bar kit they do come with all mounting hardware, check modernperformance.

While the regular hardware is included in kits you still need the stock attaching hardware and attachment points.

The 3 missing bolts for the sway bar bushing mounts (one already holds up the evap canister). The Sway Bar bushing brackets. Then you also need either after market tabs or rear struts with tabs built-in.

How big depends on you.......

My car does that when I jack the front up to remove the tire. I have I believe a 24mm/22mm setup on mine.

I have hotchkis, which are the biggest and best bars you can buy for this car. I had SRT sways and they were nothing on these...
