Tyson pushes that little in the front large in the rear sway bar setup (st rear hf front) It may be good for a low speed autox, but i think on highways and other road setups it may make the car too loose in the rear. I have both st, i plan on installing them soon

I just have the rear on. When you say twitchy, what exactly are you trying to rescribe? For me, it handles "like" its on rails.

Twitchy = very close to the rear just swinging out, (loosing control)

No, for me, my car "sits" when making turns and eventually gets to the point of when the rear will break loose but the rear end hasn't wrapped around to the point where i can't get it back. It feels very gokart-ish in handling.

Before I had the rear bar on, my car completely did a 180 without the rear bar. I think this is what vegabox is feeling in his car now.

yeah thats about it right there. I just haven't pushed it hard enough to see

but on a side note I took my car to 110-120mph on the freeway after the wing was installed...

you def. feel the difference. It actually felt like the car totally straightened up and pulled closer to the ground. Its kinda hard to explain because I have never felt it before but thw J's Racing/Chargespeed wing is def. a functional wing IMHO.

well when i did a 180, i was going to fast for the turn i was taking and once it broke loose, i couldn't get it strightened up.

The wings mainly functional for high speeds right?

Its not a mount on the shock. The kit comes with the bracket you will need.
