so i finally got around to putting in my rear swaybar. and my car handles great as it is, agx struts, apex springs, front and rear strut brace, sub frame brace, and now with the rear sway bar its even stiffer. well stiffer to the point where the suspension compromised tire traction, lol, came around a corner in a slide today, so i set the rear agx;'s from 8 to 7 and ill see how it stick now, still tight but seems a little more planted out back. what do you guys find works good on your setups?

what are your fronts set at? and why are your rear so high? i would try 3f 5r that should be ok! in general
see ya!
I left mine the way they came, 4 in the rear, and my rear end still breaks loose every once in a while but it's usually just as much as I would want. The other day some bi--... um... *ahem* unskilled female motorist with a negative disposition tried to dive into my blind spot once I had put my turn signal on, to change lanes and go into a parking lot so I punched it and whipped the wheel and the rear end just kinda trailed where I wanted it to go so I more or less drifted into Best Buy's parking lot. Yeah sometimes I'm not going to miss FL when I move this summer.
Long story short I have fronts on 2 and rears on 4 and I found this to be ideal but I have different springs, no sway bars yet and no braces so that's up to you.
actually i find the ride to be great with the fronts on 4, the car oversteers just enough that i like it. the braces make a nice difference and the front hasnt once understeered on me so its exactly where i like it. the rear is little soft now and then, i also run no interior in my car past the front seats so a little less weight in the back which isnt helping me out. there is a cage going in this summer though which i hope will smooth things over a little in the rear weight wise.
im gonna keep turing the rear down until i find a happy setting i guess, aside from the back end coming out like it did the other day the car rides great ,stiff but still comfortable.
thanks for the input guys
