Hey guys/gals, I have a 94 celica coupe, with the D2 Rally coilovers, I also have the Suspension Techniques Sway bars, front and rear.
Now what brings me to this point is, since I've owned them(about two years, with less than 5000 miles on them), they are so un-godly rough driving, I'm just curious as to if anyone knows anyway to get the to soften up? I have the settings all the way to soft, but no effect. So any ideas? -------------------- "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.

SWAY BAR HENCE THE NAME sway. so moving the car side to side is done in a more controlled matter. It has nothing to do with how stiff your ride is. The adjustment on the rear sway bar is for more understeer or less understeer.

The adjustment on the rear sway bar is for more understeer or less understeer. A sway bar setup will create a harsher ride because it stiffens the suspension up. Even end links stiffen the ride to some extent. I use to rub a lot in the rear with 3 people in the car on OEM end links and now I hardly ever rub with the after market end links. |
