Well guys the Cusco Sway bar came in on tuesday but I had to leave for Denver for a couple of days. I Just got home to play with the new toy.



Good quality, Solid not hollow, and Beefy...

Now on to the directions...



Looks like this may void my warrenty...

And for the most important part...



Hummm... 120% or 137% stiffer...

Oh yea we are going with 137%

 

LOL. Yeah crank that thing up!

 

It looks like you got the front one only, stiffer front usually means more understeer, is that what you want ?

 

Yes and no... The stiffer front will induce a bit more understeer but it will also preserve what little front camber that we have since there will be less body roll.. So for autoX the stiffer front bar will be better.

 

Never been to autox, but I prefer a little oversteer than understeer.

 

I think it also says "this message will self-destruct after 10 minutes"

Sways might be the next purchase....definitely a good mod.

 

The nice part about understeer is that it only takes a little heel-toe action to correct...

 

whats wrong cant you read that it says if you install it in the usa your car will self destruct,but if you hurry up and get the car over to japan and install it there all will be ok.lol.

 

Heh... The car has not self-destructed yet... It only took me about 40 min to install the bar, it would have been 30 but I had to take off that pesky undercover with umteen screws.

I must say after a quick drive that I do feel a good bit of improvement in the handling as I have a lot less oversteer now (if you can believe that). When I first put on the Konis I had gobs of oversteer (probably don't need half stiff in the rear) but after putting on the front sway most of it is gone. I have not pushed it hard enough to see if I have more push in the front yet but we will see.

2 on the difficulty scale.

 

the sway looks like a champ......but you should get both front and rear

 

Rear is not allowed in autoX



At least not in the stock class...

 

stiffer front does wonders for turn in.....there is no understeer to be felt on a street driven car
