Nothing ground breaking here, but I did finally get to install my sway bars. After my first attempt a couple weeks ago, in which I had stripped a bolt, a trip to Sears today to buy some bolt extracters and about an hour of work, and I had both the front and rears installed.

Everything went really well. I kinda snapped two bolts that hold up the plastics in the rear, and it flaps on the highway, so I gotta do something about that. Car handles awesome though. My tires are kinda crappy up front and its apparent now. It kinda understeers, but its still really controllable. Turn in is rediculous. Its awesome.

Settings are on full stiff front and back. Wish I had the time to do it earlier!

 

full stiff all around IMO is overkill, you are goin to have issues on bumpy turns wher it will actually hurt performance. Also, do you have the new hotchkis bars with 4 holes in the front or 3?

 

Sweet!!! I have my front on the 4th hole (Stiffest) and my rear on the middle setting. Gives a neutral feel for the car.

 

I have same as you. Great all around feeling. Full stiff in the rear is not good at all for myself. To much oversteer.

 

Unless you like to drift at every turn.

 

Yeah, right now I have mine on hole 4 in the front and medium in the rear and I'm thinking of doing med/med since the car understeers a little more than I'd like. I don't want to put the rear on hard since it will cause the rear to skip around on bumpy turns.

 

I have mine on med/med and it corners like it's on rails. I had it on full stiff before and way too much over/under steer.....

 

I have the older bars with only 3 holes. My car is pretty neutral. It kinda understeers, but only because the front tires are so crappy. It does not jump around on corners either, its pretty stable. I would soften it up if necessary.

I have goodyear RS-A's up front 245/45/18.
Goodyear EMT F1's ? 275/40/18 in the rear.

I would like to get Nitto NT555's 275/35 all the way around. I think it would be a pretty fun car. I would go with the smaller diameter for better low end gearing.
