Unless you just want them for looks they don't do a whole lot on these cars. You should look for sway bars, they make the difference here.

IDK about that
They do make the body more ridgit and I swear the only reason why my car wasn't totalled in 2006 was the rear tower brace
I didn't see them on PFYC's web site.
A universal one should work

universal??? hmm ok stupid question do you have to measure the langth for the bar or are the all the same size like if i order a universal one i dont wanna have to send it back cause it doesnt fit and i might look into the sway bars as well i def want a well tuned suspension system i bought the lowering springs today i just want a really good stance if you know what i mean i bought spacers today and shaved them down cause i like the look of the tires comming out of the wells a little bit like 1cm or 2 untill i get wider tires

Pretty sure you can still get them on e-bay. Really getting hard to come by now. Being in hte US though you can get them cheap. We get killed with shipping up here... sucks

Get the old RSM one instead of the universal one. I've seen it offered at MP Racing or ebay. It's cheaper on ebay though. Here's how it looks like. I have it on my mali and its awsome.
