It's more bouncy than ever. What could cause it to be more bouncy just with a sway install ? It was a bit bouncy before but that was fine, now its worst.

 

bump

Never heard of that from a swap bar install?!

How's your shocks n' struts holding up?

ok, is the ride "bouncy" OR "harsh"? adding large sway bars does make the car ride rougher, if thats what you mean, then yes its normal.

 

To the thread title: Duh.

To the thread topic:

Your ride is going to be harsher because your lower control arms are working, more or less, as one solid unit. You may be confusing float with heavy dampening.

 

My bro (EKJAVI) whole setup is

KSport Coilovers
Ksport LCA's
ASR Plate
CTR Sway Bar
Cusco front and rear towers

and yes the ride is more harsh not more bouncy . I explained myself wrong, sorry.

it wasnt going to get softer. Im sure you had to know that generally when going for performance u lose comfort.

 

It's already a harsh ride I just thought I might have done something right.

 

your setup is pretty track man, are you running 40 series tires ?.. i'd get some 15x8's with some 50 series sidewalls, helps a lot and a lot better traction than some street radial

 

Here is a pic of the car and the tires on it;

It has a spooner exhaust on now and the bar and the ctr sway installed.


Ekjavi owns it btw my brother


I messed up on the title

 

I have a similar setup to you, and as for the brace and sway, what you're feeling is what you should be feeling. when you hit bumps or ruts in the road, you're gonna feel them. The whole point is to stiffen up the feel of the car, which in turn sends vibration throughout the car.

 

newer pics

 

A swaybar will increase the overall springrate of your rear suspension. Increased springrate makes for a harsher ride.

You should have expected this

 

thanks people my brother appreciates it

 

 

Could be the Ksport, heard some people complain about them. Wild guess.

 

had em for over a year, I don't think its the problem.

 

did you have to move the muffler up a bit because i got my ASR brace on and my ITR sway bar didn't fit and i'm going to move it a bit. i had the ITR sway bar on but didn't have that brace. but i did change my rear control arms to onmi power.

 

you are basically adding spring rate when you add a bar, if your shocks are adjustable, adjust the rebound if its bouncy

maybe it is my muffler, i changing because i thought it was tooo round and huge, and the tip got bent from speed bumps. but thanks for the info.

 

i stick to oem gsr sway bar for my eg. drive normal

 

u got any full pics of the car, i would love too see how it sits.
