Can someone please inform me of what the sizes are of the original (factory fitted) sway bars that are fitted to an NC? With thanks from slowpoke

When you turn your car on, does it return the favour?

Re: NC - Sway Bars
And what of the RX8's bars? I understand that they can be a good swap-over..? Any measurements known of these, please?

Re: NC - Sway Bars
Come on slowpoke, don't make us do all the work for you. Use the search function. 
And sure the RX-8 bars are a cheap swap but they aren't adjustable so you'll end up with understeer.

Re: NC - Sway Bars
I tried the SEARCH FUNCTION apropos measurements of the RX8' bars but no suitable matches could be found... But thank you for your reply.

Re: NC - Sway Bars
With changes to other parts of my NC I've found the RX-8 sway bars (manual front & rear) to work extremely well on both the street and track.
