Beat Sway bars

Looking for some experienced track guys to recommend which Sway bars to go with. I have Ohlins DFV coilovers and I am looking to set the car up for track days.
I called CBRD to get clutch install prices and he does an alignment at he same time, going to have him corner balance so I need to do my Sway bars/links before. Also going to do the Perrine PRSB..... for caster alignment.
Figured I would get this all done at once.
Any suggestions?

If you're going to have CBRD align and corner balance the car I think this question would be best suited for Chad to answer. There is a lot to factor into the equation such as your spring rates, type of tires driving style, as well as the type of tracking you plan to do.

I know a lot of people on here like the Whiteline bars although I cannot comment on those personally. I have the same coilovers and am using a Perrin RSB along with my stock FSB that I drilled. Im currently trying to figure out what I want to do with my setup for next year and am contemplating upping my spring rates and going back to stock bars.

If you are set on getting sways the only thing I would recommend is that they are adjustable that way they can be finely tuned.

Most run Hotchkis or Whiteline bars.

Have you been on track yet, and how did you feel about the current setup? Worst mistake newbs make is assume they need all kinds of suspension parts, and don't have any track experience. If you've been there and definitely determined you need sway bars, then the recommendations above are good.

We arent big front sway bar upgrade guys unless we get to the point where we are playing with too much spring to control the roll- which normally doesnt happen until we are on track slicks and big HP-

we tend to use perrin or whiteline rear bars- with adjustable drop links-

and then also adjustable links up front-

Id rather someone do a perrin PSRS kit than front bar- any day of the week-

That is why I am asking..... I haven't done car track days yet, only motorcycles. Friends of mine who do track days suggest stiffer springs and looser track bars. I want to upgrade them if we are doing all of this but I don't want to take it to far. Right now I am on the 8/10 Ohlins springs Posted from Evolutionm.net App for Android

I am definitely going to do the front and rear links as well as the Perrine pieces.

Based on the suspension Guru's Ive personally spoken with (Mueller / Robi) I would have to agree w/the quote above

Whiteline RSB IMO

If you are going to ask questions about track driving, you should probably post this in the motor sports section... where you would have seen this thread:

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/mo...r-upgrade.html

and then you wouldn't have had to make your own thread.

Thanks for the link. Somehow I must have missed that thread in my search.
