Upgraded Sway Bars?
Hello All,
I am dropping the rear subframe to put in new AKG bushings and I was thinking it may be a good opportunity to upgrade the rear sway bar. I have not seen much about this during my searches so I am thinking this is not something that is commonly done. My car is primarily a street car, weekend driver, and I do an occasional track event, nothing serious. Any thoughts on this? Is there a good option and is it worth doing? Again, I am just trying to do everything I can while the subframe is out. Thanks. Sam

Sounds good. I have MCS dual adjustables with GC camber plates and am really happy with them. Thank you for the input.

Ok. Who makes nice sway bar bushings? Sorry, I just have not done that research yet.

Upgraded sway bars - what are you trying to accomplish?
If you to go to a thicker sway bar in back, you'd introduce greater understeer. FWIW, I've left my rear sway bar stock, but went with a thicker front sway bar -- from an E93 M3 vert -- on my much-tracked 1M. On a primarily street driven car, I see no reason to change from the stock set-up. Just my 2 cents. Neil Last edited by MDORPHN; 05-25-2016 at 08:35 AM.. |
