Default Godspeed Sway Bars ?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I hope this is the right section…
So this is my first review (I do a lot of lurking/ reading)

I heard that Godspeed were coming out with new sway bars and they wanted someone to test them so why not? Free sway bars =

So I arrived at Godspeed, which is located in El Monte and I watched them very closely while they did their work.

It looked like the sway bar was a direct fit ! They attached straight to the stock endlinks, which I think I want to upgrade later to a more beefy one (any recommendations?)

From my understanding, the front AND rear sway bar is ~30mm SOLID bar. I don’t know if there are any benefits from using a solid sway bar…

Anyways, the car feels great and hopefully I can bring out it out Buttonwillow or Chuckwalla soon.

I took A LOT of pictures

I would be interested in what you find on the track with both bars upgraded. Seems like upgrading the rear is not needed and typically counter acts the front bar change from my reading. Looking forward to what you think once you get it on the track!

Yeah, thats what I've seen. Most people upgrade the front sway bar only. I will see how it handles and maybe I'll put the stock sway back on

I have had mine on for over a year now. There is definitely a difference and improvement over stock. It is a little tighter up front with less body roll. Although I haven't had it on the track I have been to the mountains (deals gap) a few times and it handles good at spirited driving speeds. At deals gap I am pretty fast, even when my car was more stock. There are definitely faster folks than me out there but with this setup I am faster than 98% of the cars and 85% of the bikes I encountered at the Tail of the Dragon. However I could probly say the same with a stock setup and good tires. These s2000's are pretty awesome.

My setup is ...
Godspeed FSB
Eibach springs
stock ap1 shocks
ap2v1 wheels
Michelin Super sport tires 225/245

hope this helps.
