Good pics, thanks. I'm wondering if aftermarket true (non-sleeve) coilovers have the perch for the rear swaybar.....? I would think if I got coilovers for an SRT-4 it would, since all SRT-4's have a rear swaybar from the factory, correct?

so bringing this back to life and all

i just ordered my front progress 27mm front sway bar. chime in with your experience please with it.

i am going to purchase the rear 24mm adjustable progress sway as well to match it up.

will i need shorter endlinks for both?
should they both come with endlinks?

they already come with bushings so i will not need those.
and i have a 00 with sway bar option so i dont need info on getting brackets or anything of that nature.

thanks for the info/help

yes but you might need to get some new struts for the rear if your car doesnt already have a rear sway.

If your car is lowerd then yes you will need shorter endlings for just the rear.

Yes they will come with endlinks. I dont know about the size for the rear but they will come with them.

I just got an r/t front sway bar for my 2000. Will it bolt right up to the stock endlinks? I need bushings, too, which ones?


EDIT:Image

Look at that old muffler... damn. Also, do I have a rear sway bar? It doesn't look like it, but I'm not sure.

Yeah the front will bolt up to the stock end links just fine. I got energy suspension bushings from autozone, but I had to enlarge the holes to fit the stock end link pieces.

Yes that is a sway bar in the rear, and it looks pretty tiny.

Hey, it's not the size of the sway bar, it's how you work it!
