Yes and yes. Body roll is greatly decreased with my Steeda bars, both set to the middle hole. With the springs and decent tires the car turns in immediately, much more responsive and flat. Makes autocross fun.

BIG difference with the Steeda sway bars. The suspension needed a number of upgrades for my taste (see signature below), but the sways (set to outermost hole) and springs, which were done at the same time on my car and go together nicely, greatly reduced roll, acceleration squat, and brake dive. Steeda makes great stuff!

Steeda here also!

Depends on what you mean by handling. Not trying to pull a Bill Clinton, haha, but different people focus on very different things when they say "handling." Larger sways will keep the car flatter, and will likely feel better on the street. At the limit, things start to get a little different. I try and mainly use sways one at a time to adjust the car's balance. I'm a big fan of the Stranoparts.com adjustable rear bar, as the soft setting is about equal to stock, and gives you two other settings to play with.

What are you looking for? More front grip? Better corner exit? Just less body roll for a seat of the pants feel?

Steeda here too.

It is a noticeable difference over the stock PP setup. The front Steeda bar has 4 adjustments and the rear has 3. I am running mine on hole 3 up front and hole 2 out back. I have one adjustment hole left should I want a bit more for track or autoX day.

I just got back from a Tail of the Dragon run 2 weeks ago and the car felt amazing hitting those 318 turns in 11 miles.

Eibach here.

Was my first and still say it's the best mod I've done to date.

Thanks for the info guys. Just want the car to corner flatter for now. I don't know if I want to install springs as of now, I had some bad experience in that past before with bump steer.

Steeda here...MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the PP sways
Steeda springs also..not much bumpsteer I have noticed

I can't say enough good things concerning my Steeda sway bars. Car is much flatter in cornering. Mine are set up like Todd15Fastback's.

:cheers: so much fun pushing the car in the corners. It keeps begging for more speed.

Comparing the steeda to ford racing what is the major difference? Ford racing is also thicker and cheaper.

 

[ForTehNguyen]

what about BMR sways?
