Clark, we never timed anything, but last year at Gingerman right after Nick Mugen-ized his car, I drove his around the track a few times. The difference was extraordinary.

I highly recommend this set up. It makes the car feel far more planted, less given to oversteer...very dramatic difference...call King, I think more bars are on the way.

Scot told me about two weeks for the next shipment. I don't know if that means two weeks to arrive or two weeks before a shipment ships out from Japan.

My stuff is on that shipment as well, so the sooner the better.

Scot,

Didn't you know? My spin at Lime Rock was deliberate -- I wanted to do a 360, expertly placed so I'd get a parking space track side for the next races .

Scott and Others-

Did you replace ONLY the front sway bar with Mugen's largest or have you replaced front and back with Mugen's complete set?

King Motorsports is a great place!!! I've gotten a truckload of stuff from there for my CRX-Si.

I don't know anyone that has replaced both front and rear, Solo 1 &2 don't allow any changes to the rear one. King has said that the smaller rear one seems to make a pretty significant change though....

I'm going to have to look at how much work that is before deciding on doing that or maybe some shock upgrades instead...
