So I received the remainder of the suspension parts I had ordered. Daizen Sway Bar Set from Todd at TM Engineering.

I will not be doing the install, but will make sure to mention it to the shop.

Excuse my ignorance, but why and what is the benefit of flipping the rear sway bar end links ?

Daizen sways You're gonna be real happy with this mod.

Chrome trunk bar

Now consider de-badging the beast. I, for one, think the chrome trunk bar really looks good with just the 'L' badge in back.

daizen bars are slightly longer then stock so to fit you have to flip/turn the end links so they are facing outward and seeing you dont have a staggered wheel setup have the shop but the sway bar link bolt in the neutral/middle position

Where should they be set if you have staggered wheels?

rich on a staggered setup it should be set at aggressive or tighter to help whip the rear around or follow the front better seeing theres a larger contact patch area back their... but be careful for the rear will come around quicker then expected and can induce oversteer , but oversteer for me is a good thing cause then i can pretend for that moment i am TAKA UENO the drift king
