If your looking into sway bars powell for rear, and use lnf front . A warning though taking out and putting in the front sway bar is a royal PIA.

Yeah, which is also why I asked, because I thought i read here a while back that the only sway we really need to upgrade is the rear and it makes a world of difference.

and the final product for now, i let it dry for a while but when i unmasked it some edges didn't come out perfect. looks good for now but i may redo it come may when it's nicer out. and i talked with a buddy today and he wants me to tint my tails too so we may do that in a couple weeks, we'll see
I have Koni shocks and struts, rides bouncy. Thats the price to be cool though

yup pair of vice grips works nicely, just be sure to not twist the whole assembly on the inside of the trunk as well. never had a problem with mine, and it's cut at 13" tall dead even with the roof

i also attest to that fact its a royal PITA for the front sway!!!

n yea the only real upgrade needed is the rear sway.

the key component for sway bars is the proportion of how big the front bar is compared to the rear, which is exactly what affects your oversteer/understeer.. say you got a LNF front bar, you would want a fairly large rear bar (powell hardcore bar most likely) to compensate and give that "understeer" effect you would want from a rear sway bar. but say you keep your stock front bar, then you would be fine with a TTR sized bar (or a higher quality powell street bar). too big of a front bar would mean more push into a corner, where too big of a rear bar would mean it would get "loose" around hard corning under slick conditions or where you are pushing your car hard. doing the larger setup would make for even less body roll, but for what it costs to do that you would probably be more than happy with just a rear bar n not touching your front one

Thanks padlock, that's the best answer I could have hoped for.
I can't wait to have this car ready for the CED show, it's going be mind blowing.


Anyone know the best place to get a hold of TTR sways?
