Heres a question. It seems in Japan the trend is to use stock sway bars with high spring rates to help rotation. Are these coil overs designed to work in conjunction with an aftermarket bar, or was development done based on the stock sway bars being part of the package. I honestly would like to stay away from the compromise of a large bar at higher speeds ad this setup,; if designed for the stock bars, would definately be a purchase for me...

You may, as long as your correct...

If thats the case, I have found my suspension answers. Any more pictures of them mounted on the car? Plus the ricer in me just has to see the static ride level...

get your check book out

This kit was designed and tested to work with stock front and rear sway bars

If someone has to have upgraded bars we will do custom "between stage" combos that feature upgraded front and rear bars (matched set) if desired as well.

The kit does include urethane bushings for the stock sway bars (which helps responsiveness). Check out the first post for the full list of bits and pieces

Donour, you're coming from Albuqerque for just a weekday open track session? Is there an occasion? I'm going, because it's 35 miles away.
