I ordered a 2GS sway bar so I might not even need the sway bar set, I emailed TME to see if they would cancel that set but they dont seem to respond to any email. Does anyone have good contact info for them?

I had a shop replace the front and rear sway bar, steering, and front control arm bushings with the upgrades from Daizen. Everything feels a bit tighter. I did have some side wear on all tires and the Daizen writeup attributes that problem typically to the control arm bushings on the sc around 50k miles. I want to go to the track a bit just to feel more speed and test handling on a road course and this upgrade made sense.

Lastly lowered about 1" with the Tanabe normal feel lowering springs. Looks great with less wheel gap and the handling improved more than with the Cusco alone.
Silver Bullet. When you did your suspension upgrade, did this get rid of the bump steer issues?

Yes. Amazingly, bump steer is still an issue.
