I kno most ppl on the forum are running either the powell or the OTTP rear sway bar. I want to kno why no one has posted bout the front sway bar> Eibach makes a front one do our cars not need one? or is it just not on everyone's mod list?

 

dont need it...fwd cars esepcially the cobalt ss just need stiffer/bigger rear and your fine if your a ls/lt model then i would say upgrade to a ss front bar but your fine

and fyi that eibach one sucks *****

 

because you upgrade the rear to give some more rotation....why would you upgrade the front, then stop rotation of the rear?

Plus you have to be good at driving, or your ass will be 180 spinning all over SS fsb and a powell rear would probably be the best bang for the buck. eibach is ****.

 

Ok thanx for the input, currently saving for the rear sway bar i been kind of goin overboard on parts lately pretty much buying up everyones parts for my build and saving for my motor n tranny... got a quote for the rear sway bar and a quote for $500 for a custom harness bar from powell for my sedan.

 

u going with the street hardcore or xxx?

 

Get used parts if you can!

 

not sure the diff between the street hardcore and XXX

 

hahaa yea the 180 thing happens lol. I put my rear bar in a couple weeks ago an was going around the on ramp and was pushing it to its max ( i knew wat would eventually happen) and all of a sudden the rear end just kicked out lol ... it was crazy felt like i was drifting . pulled out of it and jumped on the highway lol

just be aware

 

size of bar. XXX is really a "Track" bar used with sticky tires. While the hardcore is for street/track use.

Obviously there are people with XXX on bad tires and DD it...but it is more of a general statement as there are plenty of bad drivers...

 

Ya theres been chicanes at autox where I thought I was going to spin it...but just let off the gas Oh...and chasing powell's RL in chicago around tight corners.....that got a little nuts. I did drift then, but had the prototype harness bar installed that day as well.

 

which would u run?

 

I run the hardcore bar, nt05 tires (hate them as they only work in sun/70+ degree). But only use the car in the summer. Stock up front and a harness bar (stiffens car up)

 

you're crazy... as long as you drive 5 miles and its above 40* NT05's work great! I've got NT05's up front and PS2's out back right now

 

Crazy?! are you kidding? The NT05 is a horrible tire in rain, in cold and with too much torq. Maybe if they are new they are good for a day? Mine used to hook up the day I got them, in the sun, on hot pavement. Rain was a horrible experience. Rain and a hill climb was even worse... 40 degree?! oh hell no...I needed easily 60+ or they spun like crazy.. worst tire I've had. I'd rather run a kdw2. I'm going with the new kdw2 replacment tire...forgot the name. Rallyracer got it. Hell I'd run stock over the nt05 at the moment. After break in on the nt05...they suck for DD.

 

damn, i been lookin at dunlop's new tire the driezza they look pretty gud,

 

check this tire out

g-Force™ Sport COMP-2™

thats what rallyracer got.

 

^^^^ lookd those up pretty gud choice im in for purchase.

 

well thank you, now i know i bought a sh*tty sway bar lol (eibach)....
i dont track that much tho
what is the price for the hardcore?

 

that that will be my next tire 90% sure. Which...I wont need until next year. So unless some other new tire comes out this winter, I'll get that.

 

Is it really too much work to type out GOOD as opposed to GUD? Not trying to offend but come on man.

 

no i type lik i text, u can skip my werds if u lik!!! i type short and fast, I dnt have the luxury of sitting n front a screen all day, im deployed so i try n take advantage when i can, srry u can grasp my abbreviations.

 

I understand. But its typing and texting like this that has down graded our society so much, nobody knows how to spell or converse properly anymore.

 

I understand what you are saying, but when i send up my reports and the time arises for proper grammar I do not fall short. H.S diploma here not GED ( no i am not taking a cheap shot at GED recipients)
