theres a couple there for ya

 

i have a stock sport sway bar in the front, which i think is 32mm (maybe 29mm). the stock rear bar was way too light (15mm) so I just replaced with an adjustable Neuspeed 19mm bar which is PERFECT. Car's nice and balanced now with just the right amount of oversteer.

 

insuite. Im gonna get my sway bars next. Do u think i should buy the front an drear or just the rear? Which will hlep teh most? If i get the front will i get back to understeer. I would rather have oversteer.

 

my front is fine, but i had stock sport suspension to start with. so i just stiffened up the rear. i think the key is to match front and rear. the combo's i saw when i was looking (forever) seemed to be:

35mm front with 22mm rear

29mm or 32mm front with 19mm rear

So I ended up just beefing up my rear since I already have 29mm bar up front. The Neuspeed rear bar comes with new sub-frame support brackets that I think do as much as the beefier bar. It's a truss mount that stiffens the existing subframe bar mount. Obviously if the mount flexes the thickness of the bar will be less than fully effective.

Most of the rear bars I saw were adjustable and I have mine set "softest" and still have some oversteer. Just for fun I might crank my down tighter to see how much oversteer it actually develops, but for the moment I still have other things to spend money and time on.

Get it to a little bit of oversteer ... it's awesome! You can slide it into a turn then stomp on the gas. With a little oversteer working, the linear force of acceleration ends up being directly where you have the car pointed. It's a hot feeling, especially with all 4 wheels hookin' up. QUATTRO-MANIA.

Hope this helps. If you want I'll jack my car up later today and take some pictures for ya. Now that I've been beatin' on it for a week or so, it's probably time to double check everything's still nice and tight anyway.

 

I'm running Konis on Eibach springs. Hotchkiss 35mm front 22mm rear. 17" Avantgarde wheels on Yokohama A100 tires. Can we say slot car? The quality of the Hsport bars is amazing.

 

insuite i also have the sport suspension so i think i will do only the rear also. What size did u use for ur rear? And where did u order it from? THis is next on my list.

 

yeah, then you're all set up front. The best deal I could find at the time was:

www.thepartsbin.com (which is really www.autopartswarehouse.com)
Neuspeed adjustable 19mm rear sway bar (part #N242502194)
Paid $250, free shipping

i think it's a great match to stock sport 29mm front sway bar. install wasn't too bad either. just be careful not to strip things out when you remove the old sway bar from the existing sway bar links. i ended up replacing my sway bar links too, which you can get from ecstuning for about $70 (for the pair).

 

yea, i was thinkin about just stiffin up the entire thing

where's a good place to get swaybars?, greed speed or awe doesnt hav em, hop-up racing has em, but there kinda pricey

any suggestions?
