sway bars

[BlackCobalt707]

how much does eibach drop the car? i got ksport springs that drop the fromt 2" and the rear 2.5" and i have a TTR rear sway bar that is soon to be installed

well, you would have been better off replacing the endlinks with something stronger than stock. Why you would think it handles better without the bar is beyond me...

And don't bring up the Time Attack car, i know it didn't have a front sway. But i understand why.

explain plz

explain plz

They just increased spring rates to counter body roll. I've had it explained to me, but i forget exactly why.

Eibach front sway bar will turn your car into an understeer nightmare. FE5 either 24mm(SS/SC) or 25mm(SS/TC) up front, OTTP Hardcore or street in the rear depending on intended use. Great balance, Time Attack tested and approved.

no problem!
I have done the research myself, and came to that exact conclusion.

Really you dont even need to touch the front...

not on the FE5 cars.

even the base model...you wont notice that much of a difference with the front changed out, not to mention the pain in the ass installation that will come with it...

the install wasnt really too bad actually...and i will say that i noticed a big diff once switched to the ss/tc fe5

Haha, 3mm is a huge difference to the front swaybar. On a solid bar, most of the torsional resistance occurs in the outer portions of the bar. The material in the center of the bar does less and less the closer to center it is.

It's easy to understand, like torque. More leverage as you get further from the fulcrum or pivot point.
