Sway-Bar**
Hi, everyone
I am thinking of buying a rear sway-bar for my C-coupe, but i cannot find a company who sell just the rear bar...
The only company who makes sway-bar for the C-coupe is Eibach, but Eibach sell their sway-bar only as a kit (front and rear)
It is not bad to getting both of them but it is far off my budget if getting the kit...I am just wondering is there anyone interested in the front sway-bar, so we can share the kit?? or is anyone know where can i just get a larger rear sway-bar ?

I'm not trying to imply you don't know what your doing, but you may want to do some research on how sway bars work together, and the implications of installing just one. Especially a rear one that's larger and stiffer. But hey... you might have a valid reason for wanting to alter the dynamics of the suspension in this way. 
If it were me... save your money and buy the kit with both.

Thank you for your advisement,
of course i know what i am doing, i am doing autoX every week with my C230, overall it is great with the coilovers, but i need a rear swaybar to making the car more balance when cornering.

What class are you running in? Why did you modify it? Was the car not competetive in stock category?

yes, the car is competitive in stock class...but in everyday driving, i cannot stay one day more with the stock suspension, it makes the car no fun, too soft....

I have the Renntech swaybars on my C-coupe. It too was a package, however they might sell you just the rear. Call Bob at Renntech - he is helpful.
I also have polyurathane bushings on the car, not cheap, but worth it.

Hmm... Isn't boost modification put you into prepared class now rather then street-prep?
I've always thought going mods route makes you spend tons of $$ to put the car to the top of allowed-for-the-class mods. I once put tokico 5-way adjustible shocks and H&R springs on my MR2 that I ran in AS (this season it's BS) and that kicked me into the bottom of ASP - I'd always come close to last. So I went back to stock springs (left tokico's as they are allowed).
I gues, if you autoX just for the fun and don't care about your standing it's okay. Then again, in my region (San Francisco SCCA) the level of competition is very high, we have whole bunch of natioanal champions running here.
