Default finally, no more comptech hearsay from me...

Got off my *** and put it on today, only a couple crappy pics because it was freezing outside (though sunny) and now it's dark.





Went for a spin around the block, almost literally... The car feels like it just wants to turn; AWESOME!

Autox in two weeks. I'll let you suckas know how it goes.

I have a stock 21mm front swaybar.

Neuspeed/Koni Yellows, GC 380/450s.

I felt a huge difference because I went from a 13mm rear swaybar to a 22mm rear swaybar. The tiebar isn't really what makes the car handle "better."

i have a question! the only reason i've been avoiding a new sway (or antisway, whatever) bar is because i've been worried about tearing the subframe..... does this comptech setup alleviate that concern? it looks like the sway (or antisway, see previous usage) bar is mounted to a reinforcing frame......... congrats on the purchase.

^^ yes. it will not rip out of the subframe. very very nice piece, i recommend it. just be careful lifting off the throttle in mid turn. it can get a little scary. i found it new for $350 shipped on here.

well ****, i wish i would have found that when i bought mine a few weeks ago.

install is pretty simple, it's just a pain on eg's because the subframe has the holes for the swaybar mounts, but no nuts on the inside, so you have to use lockwashers/nuts or locknuts and if you don't have small fingers, it's a bitch to get everything tight.

the adjustable endlinks are awesome, though.

swaybar is three-way adjustable, too. im on 'soft' right now.

get what you pay for...
