its the bright blue bars I really love!!!

I took some turns today and the sway bar just keeps getting better. I also picked up a grease gun for the zerxs fittings.

now all I need is a new driver rear wheel bearing and I'll be all set!

I went from non sport to sport then to nuespeed rear then hsport. I cant believe you cant tell a diffrence between sport and nuespeed! I remember getting very sideways when I first put the neuspeed on, so much tighter. the hsport front bar the the secrest to making this combo work. it is about 70% stiffer then stock and three times as thick. this front bar drasticly reduces body roll and makes our cars feel 800lbs lighter. the rear bar is 170% stiffer then the stock sport swaybar.

I guess I expected more dramatic a change. Maybe having a stiff suspension already made the transition less apparent.

I went from non sport to Neu on stiff a couple weekends ago and couldn't even keep the car straight at the autocross that weekend. You sure your uplinks aren't dangling down unattahced to the bar? :-P It is really a night and day difference when you push it.

autoX...I was rolling over the sidewalls. Cy beat me, but he got to ride for 2 runs and learn the course. I really haven't been pushing my car much onthe street and haven't autoXed with this suspension setup. I do get the car sideways for fun sometimes to scare people on a certain rotary near a friend's house. I just don't think the car is an oversteer machine.

It'll sneak up on you some time when you're not expecting it if you underestimate it.

crossing some above ground train tracks that have a steel grate aroudn them where they are exposed on the street. Took a turb a little to fast over them and the rear end swung around. That was when it was wet out. I really havn't got into any trouble on the street as I don't typically push the car through turns on our horrible roads. I really need to start autoXing again to see that the car is really doing these days.

From the website: "This set uses a 35mm, tubular front bar and a 22mm, tubular, two-position rear bar." Just wondering, does tubular imply hollow? If so, would 22mm hollow be more or less stiff than Neuspeed's 19mm solid bar??

They're not hollow in the sense that the walls are 2mm thick or anything, so they're not really "hollow" per se, but rather tubular.

yeah, always a good Idea to take things slow when you make changes....
