[Mr. Zetec]

Some one told me that a problem that i have with my car is a bad sway bar connections so i was considering getting a new sway bar, which one should i look to purchase? Another question some websites reconmend that i get springs with the sway bar is there a problem with getting a sway bar before i get the springs

There is NO Problem.

What kind of Focus do you have?
Either way, you don't NEED Springs, though GOOD Springs are a decent investment, even if it's only the SVT Springs for $100 for all 4.
Granted, bar and springs are inter-related, but a new bar does NOT Necessitate new springs.
BTW, are you talking Front, Rear, or Both Bars?

Also, the "Connections" or "Endlinks" are not part of the bar itself.
You CAN have bad endlinks or bushings, and your bar be in fine shape.
You may still want a different size bar, BUT, you CAN have bad endlinks, independent of whatever bars you have.

 

[Mr. Zetec]

I was going to either purchase the eibach kit sway bars or the steeda set

 

[MichaelXi]

What are your applications?

 

[Mr. Zetec]

I think you mean what do i have moded to my car?

I Have a 2001 ford focus zx3
I have motegi mr7 18's
Full evo kit
Custom dual borla exhaust
AEM cold air intake
3pc focus sport pullies

He means, do you plan on autocrossing or road-racing? Or just spirited driving?

You don't need spings when doing bars, but remember, springs are more effective in reducing sway than a sway bar; a sway bar is more of a tuning component.

What are your applications?

I think he means that the Eibach kit is overkill unless you are going to autocross or road race. if you just want an improvement over stock, you can get the svt front and rear with new endlinks and bushing for about 150 from www.fordpartsonline.com

You may want to consider the Progress rear anti-sway bar kit which is now on sale for $119.95 plus shipping at www.newedgeperformance.com.

Easy to install compared with kits that require a front sway bar replacement(like the Eibach kit, front bar is a "bear" to replace).

I hope this helps.
