List your suspension and wheel/tire setup

I've been searching for sway bars for the SVX abd it doesn't seem that they have any out there.

I looked at www.swaybars.com and saw other Subaru models.

My RX7 has the Koni Yellows, so it's a good thing that these are available for the SVX,

How about Coil Over springs?

Ground control makes coil overs for the svx, but you have to have konis to use them.

So far I have
focal f5 18 X 7 rims with 225/40-18 AVS ES100 tires and
Energy Suspension Front and Rear Sway Bar Bushings

I perfectly fine with that since my RX7 has Ground Control and Konis.

A setup that I am well accustomed to and well liked for that matter.

If you are happy with the GC/Koni on your RX7, then I'm sure you'll be happy with it on the SVX. Get the Konis from Classic Garage, and get the springs from GC. The GCs for the SVX are about 3x stiffer than stock.

Any idea on what the proper spring rates for the SVX Ground Control should be?

Porter tried a few different rates, and I think he settled on a 380f/330r rate. I think he said that he used a "semi-progressive" rate.

Hey Mych

Do you mind quoting me a price for your rear sway bar??

The one thing I did to my WRX that I absolutely loved and could feel right away was my rear sway, so I would love to get one for the SVX.

Thanks
CK

CK,

Still sorting out the price. I've got a prototype bar that I need to finish building. I've been totally swamped at work, so I haven't had time to finish the swaybar. Now that you remind me, I think I'll finish up the prototype this week. I'm expecting the final price to be around $175. It will be an adjustable bar with two stiffness settings. It will be good for removing understeer and adding a bit of oversteer if you like.

all my cars

and many others are running our Motorsport design
springs, and Koni inserts.
For wheels, Im running 18s on all my daily drivers with
Nittos on one car, and Continental Sport contacts on
another (best tire for the $ imho), that or Michelins.
It really depends on what you want out of the car overall.
I drive some serious mountain roads in town, and while
going skiing, and its smooth enough that when chauffering
around my 15 month nephew, his ride is also comfortable.
