Default Red is not my color


I'm looking foward to trying this new sway bar out at the autocross this weekend. I have heard great things about it. I went for a test drive but really didnt want to get too crazy on the street.

Just the front. From what i have been told there is no need to upgrade the rear. Some even say to put an Ap1 rear on because it's smaller then the Ap2. Maybe WillieG can chime in. He seems to know alot about this stuff. His car handles pretty well or he can just drive the hell out of it. I asked him up at the dragon about it and he suggested Tanabee because of the price. I'm sure there are better but you will pay more. I love what he said to me and it is true. "It's just a piece of metal" Some are thicker which is better but in the long run it's just a bar. It got it for $200 shipped and that was the best bargin i could find on a quality sway bar

AP1 is bigger than AP2... Dependong on your setup, tires, etc... you will either want to stiffen or soften the rear. Some guys run with no rear bar at all. Expect the car to push slightly compared to your previous setupo, but that can be dialed out with other things like alignment, and suspenison settings... if the car oversteered a lot previously, then it may settle it down just right

Looking forward to Saturday as well... with any luck, it'll be dry and i'll be out there with ya!

Well since you will be driving with me you can help me out with the tire pressure. You will be driving a good handing car though. What a difference over stock just with the springs and now the sway bar. Bad thing is now i have to compete against you in my own car
