The day I got the car I knew that it swayed too much so not knowing what I was doing got Nismo sways installed. There was a noticable difference but now I'm thinking that I'd like to be a little stiffer. Which sways do I get to make it stiffer than the Nismos but without getting to the point where it gets to be a problem when the roads are wet? TIA

 

To answer the question. The following bars with have specific benefits as in being able to leverage more bar strength.

(Got to say this, make sure that leveraging more bar strength is the tuning more you really want to make vs other tuning moves that are recommended to do first. Unless your bound by SCCA class rules of course, but then we'd be having a front bar only discussion).

Cusco (rear bar is fixed, not adjustable. Front bar is 2 way)
CT-1 front/350EVO rear
350EVO
Hotchkis
Stillen

 

One word "cusco".

That is all.

 

There are a lot educated opinions about this but it's hard to tell where people are coming from. Someone that tracks will have a different view of what is ideal that is different from someone that only drives it on nice dry Sundays. I don't know enough about this to even ask the question correctly and I certinely don't have the ability to try different combinations and see how it handles at the limits. I wish there were well defined combinations of upgraded suspension parts that are known to be good for defined conditions such as street, autox, etc... I know that opinions will differ but I'm looking for the best handling I can get for street use without winding up with too aggressive of a setup that may have safety issues. I'll try to define what I'm looking for: 1) Minimal, if any, lowering 2) No oversteer. Minimal understeer. (Isn't this the safest?) 3) Comfortable ride when going over bumps, at least not too harsh. 4) Minimal sway without losing traction too easily when wet I'm using stock shocks and springs now with Nismo sways but it seems to me that it could be less leaning in the turns. Will the cusco bars alone do it for me or will they be too much of a good thing? TIA Ken

 

My cusco sways are a perfect balance. They are fixed in the rear, but it doesn't oversteer much. I only have springs and sways, and my setup did wonders.

I think the most important aspect of suspension work are tires. Tires are the first things that contact the road, and if you don't have the correct setup you will lose a lot of that contact you need.
