Hey i remember way back when there was a discussion on using the gk rear sway bar on the rd tiburons and i believe some people tried it out, but I've never seen a definitive answer on whether they worked properly or not. Anyone who's tried it that can let me know if it fit and worked properly?

pretty sure that it ended up being a bit to wide, which cause some clanking noises sometimes.

may i suggest you also look into the eibach sway bar we have in a group buy right now? check in the flyryde vendor forum.

OEM GK Sway = Will Work
Aftermarket GK Sway = Too Wide

I remember someone on the hp forum saying they tried the oem one before and saying it clanked and they took it off....but wasn't 100% sure if that was true or not...

Is there a difference between the gt and no gt version of the gk rear swaybar?

Yeah, the stock one will work however aftermarket ones will not. Op tried the ARK rear GK one and it was too wide. You may want to get ahold of him and see if he got it working correctly.

Why would you be so interested on an OEM GK Sway Bar? Unless you can get one of those for free or really cheap at a wrecker, your best result would come from an aftermarket sway bar specific for an RD.
I have the Whiteline adjustable and I love it, it's superb. There are a couple of good sway bars out there, like the H&R bars (they claim to have special poly bushings that don't squirk), you have the Eibach's which are in the GB like Tibby01 suggested and you also have Whiteline. I think the rear sway bar should go for about $150???
