AWD Sway Bar thread

[GT-Pete]

Yes,.....you can go TOO big.....which will cause the car to be very 'Taily', and oversteer...................not what u want unless you're into Drifting.........or the odd Rally stage.......

As for the front bar being different, maybe email them....could just be an error on their part......either way i'm sure they can make one if needed....

With my 17's my car was pretty well balanced (mind you it had Maxxis up front and Nankangs on the rear)... after adding front strut brace, rear swaybar and 20's in one weekend, it has begun to understeer a bit around some corners. I have put it down to nankang rubber on these wheels and stock springs. Hopefully ill get in some king low springs and KYB's that i've got at a great price this weekend and it might make a difference

BTW, nothing wrong with drifting... I used to own a 3.9L EA 'Coon and that was great in the wet

Confirm,
The AWD front bar is different.
Yes it has to go over the tailshaft as previously described.

BTW it is NOT easy to fit as you will have to remove the exhaust, then the tailshaft and do a lot of wiggling to get it in.

Rear bar is a 20 minute job. Front bar will take about 3 hours at home!!

Do the rear bar first as this gives the biggest improvement, the stiffer front bar I reckon should be paired with stiffer front springs and shocks.

I reckon the 24mm front sway bar is more than sufficient. Any stiffer and it will outweigh the benefits from the upgraded rear sway bar.
