Just put it on. I haven't really noticed much. Body roll has gone down a lil, but I haven't really pushed it

I love the sways. Body roll on the car has reduced noticeably.

How do you get the 152 price? And also how much for the front and back.

anyone install this on rhino ramps? i heard its better to keep weight off the tires, and use jackstands is a better idea? any one who installed there own can they chime in? all i need is a 17mm wrench? should i torque it to spec with a torque wrench? or just tighten it real good?

^ I would use ramps. The chances of something going wrong with jackstands is greater IMO.

just installed. no torque wrench needed. i did purchase one but the wrench was to big to fit inbetween the camber arm. so i just tighten it as tight as i could. which is pretty damn tight.


The driving experience lives up to the hype.. I love the f sport rear sway bar. I can do 90 degree at 45 mph and feels so good. this is the best mod for the car. next up is lower and better suspension.

I got my set a couple weeks ago, install was very straight forward. Car feels great, really planted. Now if I could just get a day off work to enjoy it.

can anyone tell me whats the point of the front Sway Bar. If we are trying to get rid of understeer we get the rear bar right. From what I understand, making the front stiffer will make the car understeer more which is what most of us dont want...

so whats the point fo the front bar? just reduce roll but increase understeer (if thats possible)

thanks
