Does EK1 cxi have swaybars?

And also people say things like whiteline 22mm front swaybar is an upgrade, but how if they come with 22mm swaybars?

because cxi is the only 1 that came without a front or rear sway bar.
if u wana put a front sway bar on a cxi using an oem sway bar, u goto use front lower control arms from em1, ej8, ek4 ek1 gli etc.
or use the whiteline kit that doesnt require the front lower control arms.

I thought so.... i wish i read these sort of things before buying a cxi lol...

sorry to whore this thread but is kind of relivant
i was told that the ek4 swaybar was not as big and strong as the CTR. I ask this as im jsut about to spend 250 bucks on one which if its the same i dont need to change.

Im basically looking to stiffen up the chassis without buying a cage.

So getting Sway bar front fixed (was going to get CTR.)
