Hey everyone..im thinking about finishing my suspension and Right now I have Eibach Prokit with the KYB AGX shock/struts..Im thinking about getting the Manta Part Racing Lower Subframe Brace, Rear Strut Bar, Front and Rear Sway bars (26mm) and possibly the Rear K-Brace..what are everyones opinion on this???? Thanks!!
The only thing I might change would be just getting the 22" adcco rear sway bar since you have a Z your car came with a stock 22" front sway bar. I have the bar and LOVE it. I'm going to be lowering my car with the same suspension you have since i've heard its a good drop for the best handling. Maybe get some poly mounts for the front sway bar also and you'd be golden.

Consider going to the junk yard and getting a factory front strut bar. I didnt notice much when I added my rear strut bar....but the swaybars made a huge difference as my base modle never had them. To my knowlege there is no rear "K" brace maybe you are thinking of a tie bar?.....
As for the Manta part subframe brace...look around for a ken 2.2 brace not only will it be a little cheaper but he might still have some sitting around, and the members name .........ken2.2
If you wanna know anything else feel free to post up or send a pm. I'd be more than happy to help.
I have a Front upper strut bar already..thats why it was not in the list of parts...I did notice a huge difference when i installed it but it still has a little bit of body rrole at high speeds....
also..the reason why i want the 26mm is cause i rode in my friends car and yeah i know its a bmw but he has a 26 or so on his front and rear...and since mantapart has the 26mm for our cars then i want to see what it can do..
Thanks for the help!
The reason they are the same size(26") is because it'll give you a neutral feel. That why I suggested getting the adcco 22" since your car already came with the 22" front sway bar to give you the same neutral feel. I also heard the front sway bar isn't fun to install. The rear was a breeze.

I know you already stated...that ur buddies car is a BMW but think about the suspension differences, econo box vs smooth handleing german sport coupe, sedan... that alone will provide a 100% different feeling from car to car when just trying to compare a single part. See if you have any j-body guys locally who might be kind enough to take you for a ride so you can get a better idea of how it will feel.
If you dont have a front bar it is kind of a pain in the ass but nothing you couldnt do over a nice sunday or saturday with ur dad or a friend.
Have a good one.
yeah...since i have a Z it comes with the front 22mm stock..so that was interesting to know...but i think im gunna end up doing the 26mm front and rear from mantapart..
