Moog End Links, Gs300 front sway bar, Daizen Steering Bushings, and isf rear sway bar
Hi All; Last night I just had my suspension upgrades completed:
Front/Rear Moog Links
Gs300 28.6mm front sway bar
Daizen steering bushings
Isf 17mm rear sway bar and OE bushing
Prothane front bushings
To my surprise, my ride seems much smoother. I worried that the upgrades would make the ride too stiff. Since I first installed the Isf rear sway bar, I can tell you that this upgrade alone had the greatest impact reducing body roll. It's hard to tell so far how all the other items are effecting performance since they were all installed at the same time. I also have not driven at highway speeds and done much cornering. Overall the ride just feels much nicer, but I can update my review later.
Now I think I'm all done with upgrades except one item- coilovers. I know this is a hotly debated topic on this forum. I have been looking at Megan EZ street since they are less expensive and I have already blown my budget..

LexBrett - I've been thinking about the ISF rear sway bar and interested in hearing your thoughts when you get some higher speed runs in.
Seems like a lot of members in the VA area and it would be interesting to compare mods and ride quality, especially since you've already done the mods I'm considering!!

First time on highway no vibration
Just took my sc out on the highway for the first time with all the suspension mods. To my pleasant surprise, there was absolutely no steering wheel vibration high speeds. Previously I would get vibration around 65 or 70. It's totally smooth now. My guess that's due to the daizen steering bushings.
