REAR SWAY BARS

i looked on the website and didnt see it...

 

Comparison

I thought that all the models where the same except in the GTS the wheel size and brake calipars are larger. So the ehy would there have to be different diadmeters for the sway bar. Sorry if this is a stupid question Bras-33. Am i confused the body's are all the same am i right. Man i wish i had more 2008 Lancer tuners here in Dartmouth. But i"ll figure this stuff out one day lol.

 

It helps with the handling characteristics of the car, they thicker and stiffer the bar(basically), the less sway the body does into the turn.

 

also on the track they tested it on, they said they had a faster time than a WRX.

 

im so sure they did lol

 

SCORE!! I just ordered the rear sway bar and the piggy back. I can wait til I get it

 

^^post pics. let us kno how the Rear Sway bar feels, i might get one soon.

 

The fact that it is two way adjustable will make a difference either way. For GTS owners it is worth it as well.

 

^+1

there will still be a big difference. Its like one of the best things to get for upgrading suspension.

 

I ran the numbers for those of you who are interested...

its 1.46 times stiffer than the GTS stock bar

And 2.23 times stiffer than the stock ES bar

Supposively your supposed to be able to whip your rear end around better, which I like the sound of, but I'd like some proof before I lay down 200 on this one.

 

With my GTS I can already throw the rear out in a controlled manner due to the stock bar. The RRM one will give you a bit more control, especially when it is set tight.

 

just installed the sway bar. it was relatively easy, used a jack , 2 jack stands and wheel stops for the front wheels. The only problem I encountered was that I hand tightened the screw to hard and it broke. I actually had to take it to a shop to get the screw out.

there are 2 sets of hols to mouint. I used the hardest setting.

Test drive:

This was put on a gts. The RRM bar has 2 mm over the stock. I drove around whipping turns to seeif I could feel the difference. The difference was very minute. I noticed when turning that I could feel the weight of the back of the car on the steeting wheel. Not too sure if i like it or not. I will have to drive a bit more to feel it better. But as of right now, my first impressions of this bar is not worth the money. This is just my two cents. I think DE ES owners will get more out of this bar then the GTS's

 

^^ kinda ....sorta....no lol bu yea I noe wat u meant

I used the hard setting which is the holes closed to the end. The soft setting are the holes closest to the rest of the bar. I might as well try the soft setting..... but we are men.we don't " soft " things....

the way I think of it.... if I put it on the soft setting I prob won't be able to feel the effects of it from the stock bar.

 

I read the directions wrong....the soft setting is the holes toward the end of the bar. The holes closest to the bend in the bar are the hard setting. so technically I had it on the soft setting the whole time which is prob why I really didn't feel that big of a change ....I can wait to chANGE It up to the hard setting.
