It depends on your driving? Do you like understeer, oversteer etc? Are you running a front sway bar? whats your spring rates?

if it was me, i'd look into a different setup then Tein Monoflex. waste of $1600 in my opinion.
Not quite optimal autox spring rates in my opinion. maybe a tad to stiff for front rates compared to what they provide for Rear spring rate.
Front lbs/in 783
Rear lbs/in 448

Save a few hundred dollars and get some Koni SPSS3 and some ground control with custom rates. talk to Chris at RedShift Motorsports if you wanna get a good idea of spring rates, etc.

of if you have to have a full threaded body shock, i'd even say look at the PIC performance coilovers. i found those more to my liking then a friends Tein monoflex.

Now that we are on the spot, I have Tokico HP Blues and Eibach Pro-kit Springs.I do not know the specs of them and I would like to know what ideal sway bar or sway bars to induce a little more oversteer would be neccesary. Instead of opening a new topic, I prefer to ask in this same one.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by De_tour &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">What a good balanced swaybar setup for autocross/road racing for a 92cx. Right now for street it has a ST 19mm rear bar and Tein SS coilovers. Im going to be swapping that out with mono flex and was wondering if what i have now sounds decent or should i change anything?

</TD></TR></TABLE>

A better way to ask this question:

I have been running &lt; INSERT SETUP HERE &gt; and noticed my car has a tendency to do &lt; INSERT WHAT IT DOES HERE&gt; when I want it to do &lt; INSERT WHAT YOU WANT IT TO DO HERE&gt;. I have &lt; INSERT TYPE #&gt; years of experience in &lt; INSERT Autocross, HPDE, Roadracing&gt; and my driving style is &lt; INSERT whether you trailbrake, like a loose,tight setup, etc. &gt;

So, after searching through the forums, I noticed that these setups &lt; INSERT OPTIONS HERE&gt; would seem like it would give me the desired affect based on my driving style. I plan on using the car for &lt; INSERT Street, Autocross, HPDE, Road Racing HERE&gt; What is your opinion?


Hopefully after restructuring your question you can get the answer you desire.
