BMR Sways vs PC Stage 2

Maybe the bushings are deflecting too much... Try the derlin ones

Offset bushing insert inside the mount? As in thicker in back (closest to the pulley), and thinner in front?

Naw they are the same. I was looking at the mount wondering if I could machine away some material but the front side would prevent it...

I am sure the bushings that come with it are more firm than stock.

We are only talking about 3 mm difference between stock and BMR. I am hoping the prying fixed it. I really don't want to go back to stock. The front end feels so much better, especially at high speeds...no more float. The CB006 just came in the mail today to so my front end is going to be solid AF!!! Next up endlinks, my stock ones are bent slightly

Ah man! I wasn't expecting this when I clicked on it! :(

Let me do some brainstorming.

Would the MM007 solve the motor shifting forward? I ground down a bit of the sway and it touched again. So I ground a little more off today but really trying to fix the problem not bandaid it. Thanks for the help! [MENTION=9985]BMR Tech[/MENTION]

Or the MM006, I don’t care about NVH...it’s a weekend warrior fun car

Are you using the stock endlinks or the BMR ones? I went with the BMR bar and left the endlinks stock and i've definitely got a fair bit more room. Wondering if that made a difference though i don't know if theres any difference in length between stock and the BMR pieces.

I am using the stock end links right now. It gives me a reason to upgrade if that might help...

The issue is specifically caused because I have a Stage 2 kit with the extra pulley. A bigger sway bar with already limited space isn't making it very easy to fit everything.

[MENTION=9985]BMR Tech[/MENTION] is helping me find a solution right now. [MENTION=15791]Super Werty[/MENTION] BMR has the same thoughts on deflection of the bar.

The joys of wanted to go fast and turn hard

To be clear this my issue to resolve, BMR has been great in helping me find a solution...Hence the reason I have the SB044, SB045, TCA047, CB006, CB005, DSL017 etc.. from them. Best suspension parts out there!

Just wondering as I have the same parts but don't have the issue. Got a fair bit more room than you between my SB044 front bar and the stage 2 crank pulley. There's a recess in the sway bar bracket that holds the bushing and bolts to the frame. Gives you about 5mm of wiggle room if you pull it towards the front of the car before you tighten the bolts down.

Can you post a picture of your spacing?

I do have both sides pushed all the way forward. That was the first things I checked. Originally I had a bit more space to go on the passangersvside but it still made contact once I adjusted it.

I’m going to put a gopro under there this weekend to see if I can see what’s going on.

Here you go mate. Last shot you can see my index finger just about fits in the gap so thats about 10mm of space.

Sorry it's not much of a solution. Hope it helps though.

What you did by pulling the sway as far forward towards the nose of the car should have fixed your issue. My buddy warned me about that same issue with the Steeda front sway and ati/Procharger crank setup.

 

[BMR Tech]

I am thinking it is a culmination of a few things.

So, the first step is to remove ALL of the movement within the bushing assembly. He ordered up some of our Delrin bushings, so we will see how that works and go from there.

I will be here for him to ensure he gets to a resolution. I may not post much in here as I am spread really thin right now, but I have my eye on it.

Delrin bushings in. Going to get a gopro rigged up and take it for a hard drive.

I forgot how much of a pain in the ass the driver side rear bolt was

Got some video's of everything going under the hood. Talk about rigging up a GoPro and a small LED light!!

First Video is heaving braking from around 50mph; I did it twice.

[ame]

Second video is a Wot pull going 2nd into 3rd then a subsequent heavy brake when I let off. Things get pretty close!

[ame]

Last video is a shitty bumpy road with me swerving all over to avoid ruts and a bunch of dips. It flattens out and I go WOT in second breaking loose the whole time...

The camera is mounted on a semi rigged hose so some of the movement can be attributed to the camera moving back and forth. IMHO I looks like the bar is fairly stationary and the motor is lifting. The pulley did not touch the bar at all in these videos. I think a combo of a heavy brake and a dip may still cause it to touch. I dunno though...
