so i just ordered progress rear sway since everyone says it's nice...but i was wondering...if i buy the T1R front sway as well....is it going to be better? by the way...i already have the T1R lower arm bar installed..

 

lol, I am staying out of this

(There is a rift between the front and rear sway bar owners on the forum)

 

**** a front swaybar. the fit already has enough understeer.

i have a progress rear sway, skunk2 coilovers, and good tires, adn i can't turn. understeer is a bitch in this car.

 

looks like i won't get help..lol..

 

*shrugs*. buy the front swaybar and see how you like it.

 

im running pos ziex912's and EnduraTechs with no rear swaybar
and it does not understeer like a bitch as you stated. you setup your
car too stiff, i think, putting too much burden on the tires without
giving it enough camber.

 

Fine.... here is my 2

I agree with Kenchan, this car understeers less than your average FWD car and when you do push the limits it is still controllable. A stiffer FSB only enhances the cars ability to hold the corners better.

I have the BE 24mm front sway bar, car turns on a dime and holds hard corners like you wouldn't believe It does want to understeer if you try and jack it around a 180 degree corner doing 80km but still pulls out of it easily and I have yet to hit a cone on such corners. I am planning on dropping my rear tire pressure below my front ones by about 3lbs next time I hit the autoX course to loosen up the back end around the corners.

I don't think the two products would work well with each other, but there are a few people that are rocking both and have only good things to say. I have never tried the RSB so I can't comment. However I have nothing but good things to say about a FSB and anybody who has taken the car out always comments on the handling over stock.

 

It really depends on your setup, having both will just about keep the stock characteristic i.e. how much it understeers or oversteers, but it will be flater. Adding a rear sway will help reduce understeer. However if you run rear biased rate (a decent amount stiffer spring rate in the back) it may have too much oversteer and youll want just the front (this was the case the the AJR TT fit and why they created the FSB.) its really up to driver preference and how you want to tune your car


^^^^ You've got it backwards... stiffer rear tires make it slide more. I run 30F-40R psi on my v710's
