I'm looking into a rear sway bar and rear lower tie bar... I was considering a Type-R sway bar and a Beaks/BSQ Kit, but then i found the Comptech combo for a good price.. Is there any caution i should take? I've heard that just having a rear sway/tie bar kit makes the car oversteer like crazy, and in the rain its really dangerous. I want to have a very neutral car... i did a couple of searches but i didnt come up with anything specific.. Any comptech sway/tie bar owners... was it worth the money, and more imporantly, does it serve a purpose in HARD daily driving?

they feel is awesome!!! buy the Comptech set up. It is worth it!!! the car will not oversteer. It will feel very neutral. I do recommend aftermarket springs and shocks though. Also better tires since you will be driving faster around corners and the crappy Michelin will not stick. I do not recommend the ITR sway bar with just the BSQ with with stock suspension since the sway bar will be doing a lot of the suspension work.

 

thanks, I ordered it today. Does anyone have any pics of the setup? does it stand out? I ordered mine in red.

Thanks

I have the "old" Comptech setup.

Together, they were my first mods. I would HIGHLY recommend tires though. Even though the handling improves drastically, your newfound willingness to test the limits could lead to disaster...get some good tires.

See my web page for pics (but remember the tie bar will be different. Also, you will notice the red (or silver) bar. Its visible and obvious, yet says "I'm modded" in a subtle way. Its the only exterior cue that my car is not stock besides the yellow shocks (its lowered .75" which no one notices). I've kinda got the red/yellow McDonald's theme going on down there

what kinda price are you talking about?

 

vudoo666, im talking about $310 SHIPPED as apposed to 399.95 without shipping.

Stephen, thanks for the good advice, much appreciated. Nice pics, ill definately send you some of my setup after its installed. I'm planning on Koni Yellows + GC setup, i hope my ketchup and mustard doesnt stand out too loud, i never thought of it that way! lol.. Maybe i'll paint the comptech silver or something.

Thanks for all of your input, keep it coming

Alex

 

hehe, it'll look good. The shocks get dirty so no one'll notice

 

well the gc's are red (at least mine's are) so you've already got the red/yellow theme Great combo tho, look up import-specialists.com..they'll hook you up. great guys.

 

AVD23-Where did you get the sway bar for such a nice price???
Thanks

 

i want the comptech bar combo as well, but do you still need that kit to install it? how hard would it be to do it myslef?
