I am interested in getting one of the above. My current suspension setup is as follows:

Mugen Lowdowns, 15" Volk te-37's on RE 730's 205/15/50's, spoon rear strut tower bar and stock front tower bar (car is a ITR). I heard nothing but good about both setups and which do you guy's think would help me out more?

My buddy had a GSR with a decent suspension and had a 26mm RSB and his car was way tail happy, I don't want that. What's your guys thoughts? I like the way my car handles now, would either make a big difference?

 

Then why change it and waste money?

With you current set up, go with 23mm JDM rear sway bar.

If you plan on going with 26mm Mugen rear sway bar, consider front 26mm sway bar as well.



p.s. also, changing out stock strut tower bar will actually effect the way the car handles... mugen strut tower bar = way understeer on otherwise stock ITR.

 

If you don't want the car to be tail happy, you shouldn't get the Mugen 26mm rear sway bar. Try a Mugen 24mm, or the JDM 23mm.

 

type R handles great as it is from factory, so would throw it off some by installing just a 26mm rear sway bar.

Yes, but he already has a Mugen Lowdown installed.

 

JDM bar or leave it stock and learn how to rotate it better through street time at the track. My stock R is too tail happy for me at the track. I still have to learn how to control it.

 

Anyone with the Mugen or JDM bar care to add their .02 cents?

 

Are any of you guys who are saying that the 26mm is too much running stiffer springs in the rear (i.e. 400/600)? What would be the handling differences between a "traditional" setup (750/500), and a newer setup (400/600) with either JDM or Mugen bars?

Just something I was thinking that would clarify everyone's opinions.
