Default CR sway bars

Just wondering if anyone has tried these yet and what you feedback is.

Thanks

No one has decided to be the guinea pig.

its the same thing as the my00 ap1....so i tried it on my my06...(i use to own an ap1 and i still have the stock sways that i took off from it and replace it with some aftermarket sway bar)...
anyway my impresion for it in combination with other suspension mods : megan track coilover, x brace, cr rear upper bar that connects to the roll hoops, cusco rear strut bar, cusco lower tie bar. and here my alinment 3deg on all four, 7.5 caster, 0 toe in front and about 3/16 toe rear, tire pressure is 32 psi on all four, 16x8 with 245/45 toyo ra1 on all four. custom rear diffuser.

i think it created some minor understeer and a noticable lesser body roll was achieved (this is tested in a canyon down here in south cali) maybe because this is due to my suspension combo but i fixed the understeer by lowering the front about 5mm and increase rear dampning by two clicks up left and right. and then i also have a spare sway bar links from an ap1 that i modified--i shorten it about 10mm by cutting and then welding them together..
so far i love it...and i am still doing some research and reading how to make this better..

anyway, good luck...

Not the same. 28.6 for the front and 26.5 for the rear, wall thickness is 4.5 for the CR. They differ from the 00-01 a bit.

considerably, but you would need the shocks as well to handle the increased spring rate.
