not having too much luck on rear sway bars, anyone want to add in pics and some feedback on it.

 

Here at VIVID we have and carry many rear sway bars. We also offer some as kits with links aswell. My personal fav, which will go on my 9RS is the agency power



Just let us know your questions!Best of luck!!!!

any stock colors like black or dark grey?

 

Nope Just white but spray paint works good on almost anything!

 

Their is a ton of info on swaybars. Please do a search on it. I personally have HOtchkis and Love it.

 

+1 Had the Hotchkis on 2 Evos and it was a great bar. Greg at GSC Motorsport has a great deal on them...

 

I have the progress rear bar, and it seems to do the trick. Its also dark gray

 

what exactley do you mean not having any luck?

i have a hotchkis rear sway and i love it. hollow so it is nice and light, and adjustable so you can choose the setting that suits you best.

came with good strong mouting hardware, and a detailed instruction book. took about an hour and a half to put in all said and done, and that insluding some beer drinking and laziness.

just a tip though, if your bar comes with grase for the bushing, wear some gloves or apply it with something else, because that stuff is next to immpossible to get off your hands.

 

the agency power rear swaybar is awesome. On the track the rear end just hooks like crazy. Front sway bar will come soon for added traction

edit: also have the links

 

My friend has Cusco adjustable and really likes it.

 

I would think stock 22mm rear sway bar is plenty for daily driving. If you track your car, I would go with cusco which is only +1mm from stock. Too stiff of a rear sway bar, I always fear that car could loose some traction when it goes over a bump.... Obviously, it would not be the case with track surface.... I am not sure if I would upgrade for daily driving...
Just my 2 cents.......

 

Can any improvement in handling be had by upgrading the stock rubber swaybar bushings to poly bushings on the stock rear swaybar?

 

Very, very slight. It would be extremely difficult to feel a difference, but technically, the poly bushings would be an improvement, on paper if nothing else.


Something you do when have no other mods left to do.


We've been very happy with Whiteline and Cusco swaybars. Complement a good set of springs very well.

so how do sway bar's help you. does it give you more grip in your turn befor the rear brakes or does it let the *** end brake out sooner????

and how do you know what is the right bar, right size, and right for you and for your car??????????????

i am getting swift springs and i just want to improve the handling of the car without having to get coilovers.

 

Increasing the diameter of the rear swaybar increases the weight transfer at that end of the car. Total weight transfer for the car stays the same, so in effect, the added weight transfer at the back must reduce it at the front. Soo...the front tires see less weight transfer and are more evenly loaded, improving grip at the front of the car, where it's needed.


In addition, the reduction in body roll improves total grip by maintaining dynamic camber, so the saying that a rear sway bar adds to oversteer simply by reducing rear grip is not entirely true. Rear grip usually improves as well, depending on the size of the bar (and about a million other variables).
