i have been looking at 2 dif. options the eibach kit with a 22 mm front and a 25mm rear, and the H&R kit with 24mm for both, does anyone reccomend a certain one over the other? i have asked FSWerks and they reccomended the H&R but then again thats what they sell...so just trying to get a opinion from others, looking to do a few autocross events this summer to so keep that im mind i guess

It honestly all depends on driving style. Pretty much any sway bar for the Focus is good and fits fine, but it all depends on your driving style on what sizes to get.
FSWerks recommends the H&R because the bars will give the car a neutral control(easier to control), since the bars will remain close to same size. While the Eibach has a slightly larger rear bar, and will help rotate the car better in a corner(harder to control, rear will slide more)

I have for the Eibach bars. I wanted a larger bar in the back to get the wagon's big ass to give in the corners. Damn thing still wants to stick, unless I really overdrive an entry

I've autox'ed for acouple seasons. The bar size depends on your driving style...if you want the car neutral, or if you want the car to lose traction in the rear and slide...blcksvt2003 wrote:think im trying to go for it to stick around corners , not sure tho havent done autocross yet any guys out there that do it? seems like you would want it to stick better but not sure

Front wheel drive vehicles naturally under-steer, a larger swaybar in the rear would reduce this effect.

Exactly. The size of bars depends on how much you want or can control...
I know the setup on my wagon was alittle scarry for most, but was perfect for my driving style. So it all depends on what your comfortable with.

The SVT on stock suspension has some pretty serious under-steer. I wouldn't mind a larger rear sway bar.
