The robispec bar is more than likely a whiteline bar as the measurements match and robi has been supporting whiteline since the early evo days.

Please... whatever you do... do NOT buy the neuspeed fsb. it is dangerous and performs way worse that stock.

Also... Make sure that when you are buying a sway bar that it has stoppers where the bushings are to keep the sway bar form "swaying" left and right during turns. Neuspeed lacks in their development of their fsb in doing this. i put my stock sway back on instantly.

don't waist your money on neuspeed unless you plan on fabricating stoppers on this sway. if you take a look at your stock sway or some other companies such as swift, whiteline, ect.... they all have stoppers.

Hey gents I'm in the process of ordering myself a front .25" 6 point adjustable Gendron bar.

(Named after the creater Bill Gendron)

I've heard nothing but glowing reviews of this bar and there's lots of people who have had great success in track events.

Does anyone have any pictures of the revised Gendron brackets? I've heard about them but haven't seen them.

now after the change.

Even taking a corner at a relatively slow speed while applying
throttle a bit out of the corner I get wheel -spin.

Maybe I should turn off the VSA..would rather understand just
what I've done wrong with setup.

My car is "bone-stock" other than new FSB.
This is not good. How much wheel spin? Tire smoking or just a small burp of the tire?

I have a 05 and was about to upgrade to tanabe front and rear sways. I drive my car daily and don't think I will ever track it. My friend has it in his garage and is letting me have them. Just wanted input on how my car will handle. Stiffer? More of less oversteer? Thanks

It's a waste if you are not racing. Also, I've never been fond of "matching" front and rear sway bars. No one should be putting a thicker rear swaybar on their cars.

Am curious ao we shouldnt put the same size front to back then what would be a ideal set up for mountain driving.

I want to be able to take turns at a higher speed without skidding or sliding

Agree, Better tires should always be the first upgrade to any car... Never been so happy as when i switched to star specs.

I have the Comptech unadjustable, and the thing works absolutely perfect in AP2, keeps the rear end planted without inducing too much understeer.
