Mixing RB Sways with MS Springs & Shocks

I'm interested in getting sways to start with since I think it will help tighen up the steering and reduce body roll. I may also get springs and shocks in the future, I'm not sure yet.

I looked at the MS sways, but they are alot more epensive than the RB sways. The MS springs and shocks are not that bad in terms of cost, but I'm worried it could cause a problem mixing and matching. Should I be worried?

I know Paradigm is running that set up. He seems to be doing quite well with it, judging by his autox results.

I think RB is developing KONI shocks I wonder if they will match with the RB springs?

I'd imagine you'd do all right mixing the RB sways with other springs since the two parts function independently enough. The only issue might come down to how hard you want bumps to feel while cornering.

Looking at the geometry, the RB sways should probably be the stiffest of all the after-market bars out there right now (assuming that all of the bars are very similar in length of the bar and length of the "arms" that attach to the end links).

Just make sure you don't forget about making sure that whatever shocks you want to use are OK with the coils you choose.
