Front and Rear Sway Bar Upgrade. Thankx to KevinD for the nice work and installation.

Bye bye the stock:




^^^ BTW they are for sale both for $140 OBO^^^


and welcome the upgrade:

 

Have you had an autocross with them?

 

yes I did!!

 

right, that's about all Denver and all of us wanted to know!!

if we have to be specific:
what were your objectives in going w/both front and rear?
why didn't you go w/an adjustable rear?
w/out adjustable bars, how'd the thing handle? (same? under vs over steer?)
what speeds is it noticeable?

are you coming to MSR?
or NTEC, Tues?

hope this isn't overwhelming, but I haven't met you yet, saw you driving out of TMS but you didn't stop for the couple of Evos entering...

 

Are there open MSR invites?

 

absolutely....guess I've been around so long, its a worn out invitation, but...
members get 2 guests a monthm, check the calendar for a play-day

I'd be out there 2 days a month if someone pushed me hard enough!!!!

Last year, I got in hot water from the track as well as guests that came out to play following the EvoMaxx Saturday. Many of the members that said they would be there, didnt show....some w/notes from their Moms, but many left me swing'n in the breeze...
I promised not to do that again, so I help guests contact the members directly, then each can plan accordingly, and I can get back to being- 'the nice guy again'

 

I hear it's really hard to replace the sway bars - particularly the front one.

How much was the labor cost to have them swapped? I'm sure I will have this done..... some day.. lol

I know it won't happen this year though... I'm aiming for next year! Plus coilovers!

 

OK. Well I'm SCCA'ing on the 19th.

Maybe the 1st? I've never been on the 1.3 track though.

Or the 22nd -- 3.1 day

 

are those the hotchkis? how does it feel???

 

He got the perrlin sway bars. They went in really nice and fit well.... thats all I know... the front is a HUGE PITA!

Q:What were your objectives in going w/both front and rear?
A: To resists body roll motions of the vehicle.

Q: Why didn't you go w/an adjustable rear?
A: I had a really good deal for both and I went for it. Also because I use the car all the time and with this setup Im getting to know the car reaction and how it handle. With the adjustable Im not going to get to know the car very well because of adjusting the setting back and forward.

Q: W/out adjustable bars, how'd the thing handle? (same? under vs over steer?)
A: It handle very well on the street.At this point there is no under steering for me because my driving technique is to transfer weight whenever I need to, so with this upgrade it make it a littler easier to control the car.

Q: What speeds is it noticeable?
A: Went taking corner at 30-40mph^ and driving normally u can feel the stiffness at less 60mph^.

Q: Are you coming to MSR?
A: No. Im new is this area so I didn't know about this meetings.

Q: NTEC, Tues?
A: NTEC... I can't because of my work, no time.

* I apologize for any miss understanding my english is not that good.

 

^^^ His car is BEAUTIFUL BTW

Street monkey, we have to get you out to a meet some time.....

Off topic, sorry, but had to say it!

 

Yes, it is beautiful. I saw Street Monkey leaving the autocross; sorry we didn't get to see you run.
Street Monkey and some of the newest Evo owners around town are driving/enjoying their Evos more than most.
Its great to see a few owners enjoying what the EVO was designed to do

 

so are those perrins lightweight and hollow also like them hotchkis?

 

lol... lightweight!!
