WOW!
i installed the Addco rear sway bar on monday... i did notice a nice difference with it helping to eliminate understeer. I re-adjusted my D-specs from 2 front 2 rear (daily setting) to 1.5 front and 2.5 rear. I'm thinking off adjusting the rear to 3.
i found that the on/off ramps were alot smoother and consistant. cornering in general has improved greatly.
my whole suspension set up is complete minus a subframe brace. List of mods in my reg.
I can't wait for the next AutoX event to really see how much of an improvement this is
my autoX set up is .5 front and 7 rear.. but that might change as well with the addco bar.
i bought this bar used and it didn't come with any instructions.... anyone know how tight i should tighen the endlinks?
thanks
enough that you can seen the bushings buldge some

Ah you could try the new set up this Sunday buuuuuuuuuut your going drag racing. How thick is the addco bar? I have the hellwig I think(had it for about three years) never really notice that much of a difference although I never had a problem with understeer.

LOL yeah i know.. i need to represent the J's at the Team Wars event in St.Thomas
the Addco bar is a 1" (24.5mm) bar.... my stock front bar is a 22mm bar.. if i had the 18mm bar from the SE model i believe that i would have a bit more oversteer.... well that is what i was told.
Good luck Sunday!

yes you would man, I have the 18 front 22 rear and it has some overteer to it. but with a sub frame brace added it almost evens it out.
Addco rear bar + poly endlinks on stock 22mm front = funnest mods ever!
If you haven't swapped your front swaybar bushings to poly ones, DO IT! I noticed such a big improvement, I was amazed, for $20 I fell in love. Evened the front out with the rear, EASILY.
I bought Energy Suspension endlinks....

the addco rear bar is nice! you will do alot better autocrossing with it. now you will have to rethink your shock settings. i need to make a trip to canada to autox with you guys some time
see ya!
i need to get some shocks to fully test the rear swaybar. but i agree its a awsome mod.
