Waylon from Way Motor Works twisted my arm (gently! :) ) and put this rear sway bar on my car today, at the DDM mod day.

Did some donuts, hit some twisties on the way home and what a difference, even on my stocker, with run flats!

For those of you who know to ask, (I didn't until today), it's on the middle setting.

P.S. The reason I can get away with it, when the wifey said, "No mod's till it's yours."? She won't notice a 5 lb 25mm black sway bar tucked between the rear shocks, of course!

Hahaha, that's great Dave. I should be running on the full H-Sport suspension in the spring and can't wait! So you don't think she'll notice the quicker turn in and reduction in understeer? ;-)

Nice, Like to take a ride in it sometime to feel the difference (HPUdrew and or Midnight Dave), From stock to the H-Sport comp bar, I just scored a H-Sport Sport bar 19mm (ebay), $66 so I'll install it, once it arrives, and would like to feel the differences. In handling between the 25.5mm and 19mm bars, If your game.....

The difference is about $200! Oh, you mean the handling. ;-)

I doubt you can tell the difference, especially in my car, b/c I have run flats and tires are going to do more than the RSB, however, you're welcome to try it.

You can try it out in my car one day if you like. I've been running the rear comp bar (softest setting) and springs for about 8mos+ or so. They're all nice and broken in now. :D

Drew's gonna have the front bar that I'd like to check out myself. ;)

I'm probably going to run both the bars on the tightest setting too... Also, I'll be needing new tires by spring, so some lightweight 17s and sticky tires should be on by then too... With those mods and my LSD I have a feeling my drive through the mountains to Murphy will go by a lot quicker soon. ;-)

I'm running S-lites right now, and will probably keep them for winter/highway driving with some all season tires so that I can get some really sticky tires and not have to worry about wearing them out right away.
