my current suspension setup

tockico blue shocks and springs
front and rear upper (megan racing) strut tower bars (installing soon)

my question is, i want some oversteer and more stability for my car. i plan on only replacing the rear sway bar because i would want some oversteer in my car. is the ST bar beefy enough to do this for me? and if not, then should i be afaid of the RM bar being TOO beefy? i want some oversteer, but will replacing just my back sway with the RM bar give me too much oversteer? opinions please. thanks.
 
Looking at your 3" exhaust, go with the RMDSM bars, I just bought the ST bars and they didn't fit, so now I have an extra set of bars.
 
Where can I find the RM bars and what's up with the suspension bars, I have heard of guys using them? Thanks, Mark
 
"Tokico Blue shocks and springs"

Can you be more specific regarding the springs - if they are not stock can you provide spring rate and ride height details please ?


2Gs have a habit of getting into the front bumpstops when cornering - this generates understeer. Fitting an RM front bar will reduce/remove that tendency, and so will in itself reduce understeer. Adding the RM rear bar will then increase any loose traits. Adding a rear bar on its own will give oversteer ntil the front gets into the bumpstops, at which point the car will swith to understeer.

I still need info on the RM bars as I have not heard of them! Also looking for a vendor to supply BOTH front and rear strut tower bars, best performing if there is a difference! Thanks, Mark
 
Back order is not enjoyable but "all good things come to those who wait" THANKS for the info. I have an option from ST! Mark
 
You can have a RM bar from SBR or Dsmparts or Mach V or Buschur racing and...
I have a 90 and I put 2 s/t sway bars : very good.
