No need to spend extra money on the Cusco. Most of us here use Whiteline/Shelbys.

thanks Arith,
i spoke with Phat tonight and ordered a rear sway. I will get the front at a later date.

Is it worth getting the link kit also???

Save the money on the links kit and put towards springs or front sway I reckon

As Phat once told me, getting just the rear sways is like getting just the rear springs if you plan to lower your car.

Even though it's a good start, you need front and rear to truly balance the car's dynamics. There are a lot of people out there who only do the rear, which is alright, but you're missing half the equation. All the manufacturers wouldn't make front sways as well if they didn't see it couldn't be improved upon along with the rear.

So the best advice I could give you is to save up and do both front and rear at the same time. You won't get the full benefits of upgrading sway bars by only going half way.

Is it worth getting the link kit also???

Hopefully someone can help answer that, because I don't know because mine came with the STi links already. Sorry.

Don't know about the MY06 STi, but the S.Techs ride beautifully on both the MY07 GTB and MY07 STi.
