I personally am crushed to know that all it would have taken is a 4.44 5 spd and asking Pkiller's advice on tires to woop on ya'll in an auto-x. Crud does LAN take returns on Stage III's? Tom I guess I won't ask you to build me coilovers this winter, and I guess I will just throw my 07 STi 6 spd in the trash. I dont want too much weight hanging over my front end after all.








On second thought maybe I will just keep pushing for 350+whp, try to shave weight, and run my 255's

Thumbs up sway bars

the single biggest improvement in handling is bigger sway bars.

Actually, ours does better or at least just as good without the front bar attached.

Less front bar will give it more front grip... more rear will give it less grip and make the understeering car more likely to want to rotate for you.

Okay, just what an I'd want two larger bars so I can understeer exactly the same, only less predictably. Makes for a great race car! Are you living beside a meth lab with shared ventilation btw?

Lightbulb two bars?

who said anything about 2 bars? disconnecting your front bar is only transfering the weight to the rear to help balance in a backwards way. i eliminate understeer with the proper size tire and then take advantage of the benefits of having a bigger sway bar no one has obviously experienced.

disconnecting the front bar with a stock suspension is like shooting yourself in the foot. To be honest Nate, i would suggest getting some seat time as is after I am done with the car and then deciding what to do that will help you more. right now it is all perspective
