I am considering upgrading to the Suspension Techniques sway bars. For those that have them, what are the performance gains versus how much they make the ride punishing. I am trying to strike a balance between improved handling and ride comfort. To illustrate this these are the mods I have chosen (so far):
Performance enhancing: TRD Springs Front Strut Tower Brace Side tower braces Ride comfort: KYB GR2 16" wheels (with 4 inch sidewalls) Thanks for the replies  -------------------- 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. |

A larger front bar will tighten up the front and allow you to transition faster; however, you are also going to pay for it in a long corner, as your (now) tight front end will be more likely to push out.
Depends on what you want to do with the car. I have the Suspension Techniques front on my car, but am going to switch to the stock ST front bar (19mm vs. 20mm for the stock GT bar), because I spend more time actually in corner than I do turning into it. |
