Re: 89 RS Sway Bar Sizes
Do you have your RPO code sheet? Look for one of the following FE1 FE1 F41. There are a few options on the RSs.

Re: 89 RS Sway Bar Sizes
FE1 says 18mm rear for 89-91
but FE1 on the front is listed for 90 -91 w/ a 30mm
so i guess i got 30mm/18mm
dang its time to get some WS6 parts

Re: 89 RS Sway Bar Sizes
I'd say that was right. A set of 36/24s will stiffen the car up nicely. I went from 34/21 and noticed the difference. There is a member with the name racinggeek with some parts for sale. Might want to send him a PM.

Re: 89 RS Sway Bar Sizes
It's 25.4mm per inch. You just take 18/25.4= .708 inches and 19/25.4= .748 inches. Not sure what that is in fractions, though.
Those WS6 bars are plenty big enough. I have them on my car. I did have a 25.4mm Spohn bar, and it was too much. Caused oversteer under throttle.
I don't think I'd replace the stock bushings if you were going to replace the bars. You can replace the endlinks and reuse them, but not the bushings. Just food for though.
