Hah, well in that case Im sure itll work great! Just get an adjustable bracket for the front swaybar and try it on full stiff and rear on full soft.

 

I know the best option would probably be just buy A smaller rear bar, but the 26 is currently on so I figured I'd give it a shot with the coilovers, just wanted to make sure the best move is to swap the springs and put the 10k in the rear vs the front....

 

Swapping springs is perfect. That's the first thing everyone does .

 

I purchased the FA500 GEN 6 with 8k f/r springs. got them for pretty cheap on a Christmas sale. hoping they are a decent upgrade from whatever is on my car now. when i get time to install them i will give some feedback on them.

 

Alright Tim. Many of us, including me, are on the FA's. That spring rate is certainly OK for the street. You will find that many of us run a bit more rate but 8K is a good start

 

FA is a GREAT coilover. You won't be disappointed.

 

I had a Really tough time deciding between a set FA500's with swifts vs the Ohlins, everyone kept telling me the Ohlins were the better damper and worth every penny though, so I took a shot on them... Plus not having to wait a month is a little bit of a plus but I Really wish I could have rode on both and made my decision...

 

Ohlins is the better-riding shock. If you daily the car, it's a better choice.
When it comes to performance, you could flip a coin ,really.

 

looks like i got all the GEN7 upgrades for free on mine as well. lol

 

That's what I've read! I'm just wondering with a 26mm RSB, if 8k 10k F/R would be better than 10k 8k, like the instructions say? Or am I going to end up with an oversteer happy car. If it makes a difference, I'm running 265/35R 18 200tw tires, car is mainly driven on the street , but plan to start hpde...

 

Well, pushing IS safer. If you are nervous ,you can keep the rates stock then play with your RSB. If you max it out and the car still pushes more than you would like, swap springs and go full soft on the bar.
If the car gets "close but not quite", maybe play with tire pressures?

 

you're running 8k/10k with 25mm bar, correct? How does the perform? Is a 1mm larger size gonna make a huge difference ?

 

I did. Now 9/10 (long story) soon to be 9/11. it feels neutral, to me. I don't have issues with turn in or mid turn, and I control exit with the throttle. That's with only a wing for rear aero and a tuned ACD. It probably has a lot to do with driving style also.
I love how the car drives. Rear bar is 25 mm set second to softest.

Not sure what a larger bar would do.

 

Isn't the tuned ACD is supppse to induce more oversteer?

I think I'm gonna try 8/10 with the bar set to full soft like Dallas mentioned and see how it goes!

 

It could. Different settings allow the diff to be open a bit more to induce rotation.
