Sway bar and Coilover questions
 
Hi guys, I just got stance coilovers for my 05 sti, and dropped the car off at the mechanic and when I got it back today, I found out that my front sway bar snapped... It was an aftermarket sway bar, according to the mechanic, and I couldn't figure out which brand. All I know is its a red sway bar, if that helps.

On top of that whenever I do slow turns, usually in 1st gear, I hear as if the springs or something makes a "thung" sound... The mechanic said its because of the missing sway bar and so the tires are unbalanced and so it makes that noise.

So my question is, what kind of sway bar I should get, oem or aftermarket? And is the noise really because of the missing sway bar or is it because of an installation error on his part??

The red sways tend to be made by Perrin or AVO. Just replace it with a new one of what you had before? Well the noise won't be fixed until you put a sway bar on, if what he says is true. Regardless you SHOULD put a sway bar back on, even though your car is drivable.

btw I think you might want this in the GD section not the GH 08+ section haha
