I dont know how they are adjusable but they're a good upgrade, def. feel the difference.

the back bar is adjustable. I have mine on the softest setting and it is still a substantial improvement over stock.

Oh the 2 holes, that doesnt seem like to much of an adjustment.

[right][snapback]310888[/snapback][/right] The holes nearest the ends are for the softer setting. The warning in the instructions scared me about unwanted oversteer on the firm setting so I just went with the soft setting. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

if you get them, make sure you have money set aside for new links, most of the time they need to be replaced.

When I looked at the images of the sway bars it looked like they had end links on them. This isn't the case?
I had to replace one when I did my springs and it ran 60 from Toyota. Are there non-OE links I can buy? --------------------  |

The 5th gen ones don't come with end links. I don't know if the 6th gen ones are different. Do any of you guys know where to buy replacement bushings for these bars? Mine are pretty worn out in the rear and the bar has an uncommon measurement so I can't use whiteline polyurethane.

[right][snapback]313379[/snapback][/right] Do you mean the bushings that come with the bar? If so, you could probably get them from Suspension Techniques. Call and talk to a guy named Roel Garza. He is very good to work with. Their website is www.stracing.com but it appears to be down right now. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
