Default 350EVO Swaybar Review??

I haven't seen anyone post a review on these sway bars... I'm interested in hearing information on squeaking and the hard setting...

The install is easy. I've had mine on the car for three weeks. No squeeking.

I have the front set to the soft setting and the rear set to the medium setting. I will adjust as needed at the track... but I doubt I'll move the front off the soft setting.

The next track event is July 26th at Texas Motor Speedway. I think the settings I have now will be great for that track. I will post my review after that.

You probably will never need the firm setting on the rear unless you are on a tight autocross track.... or you just like to have the back end snapping around on every turn.

With the front at soft, and the rear at med, hows the car handle. Is it too twitchy, or is it just less "push-happy".

hard to say... all I do is commute three miles to the office and three miles home. So, it does not feel any different. In the wet, with traction control off, you can get the back end to come around very easily. In the dry, traction control on, the rear seems more planted... most likely due to more of the tire's contact patch actually touching pavement.

The real test will come at the race track. I'll be at Motorsports Ranch this Septmeber... that track is very tight and really brings out the oversteer in a car. I imagine there I will set the rear bar to the firm setting, just to get the car to rotate better.

At the larger Texas Motor Speedway and Texas World Speedway I think I'll have enough rotation with the settings where they are.

I'll get mines today. I think I'm going to go medium all the way around and scrap the hard setting... BJ was recommending it...
