I now run the Comptech bar full stiff everywhere. On the street you'll only notice a little push when it's wet. It's a 20 minute adjustment job, so I just leave it. On the street I run a 215/45/17F & 255/40/17R so that should give me even more understeer (40mm stagger vs. stock 20<I know it's really 40>). It feels fine, I just can't throw the back out around 90* corners and scare my girlfriend anymore.

I wouldn't be concerened at all about "streetability". My car is a heavily used daily driver.

 

I heard the Comptech at full stiff is still too soft for Karner and the rear too stiff. But then again Karner's taste is not one you would normally compare notes with

 

If it's still too soft you can just add another bolt in position #1. If that's still soft, than just fill all 5 holes...

 

According to Comptech, finite element analysis shows that it makes no difference. I know a lot of people swear by it but I'd like to see someone put it on a stand and measure the difference...

 

It's probably minimal (& mental).

 

Is that number just for the front shocks? And how did you come up with that number? I'm running 280 in/lbs front springs on stock shocks right now, but GC recommends 340, I think.

Thanks.

 

I was planning to get a swift bar, since I'm getting swift sport mach springs. I read that it's only 13% stiffer than stock..? Compared to comptech and the other bars out there, that seems like nothing. You guys think it's worth it or I should get a different bar? Thanks a lot
