Mega sale! 2G FWD RM Racing Rear Sway Bar

[spidey7]

So whats your first feeling with the new sway bar installed? Does the car is more stable?? because i have a spyder so... i cant install my strut bar...just the sway bar.

I take 90 degree turns at 50 mph cause the handling is just amazing. No tire screeching either.

I posted a tech article that I wrote while installing this sway bar. I have a solution to what may be causing this bar to squeak on some cars.

I can second the Moog Endlink, it is way beefier than the OEM endlinks. When i was installing I didn't think it would fit because it is so much physically bigger. I will probably buy one more down the road to have a matching set.

As for the sway bar it is great! I cant wait to get a strut bar and front under bracing...I just got to decide if i want RRE or Tanabe

Go Tanabe cost 85 bucs shipped and it's crazy light and yet still has no flex in it. So easy to install it's nuts literally lift the car unbolt two bolts put the bar on and put the bolts back on.

Where did you buy the Tanabe/Sustec front lower tie-bar? I might have to pick this up for myself...

But it's not a tie bar it's a under brace. Slightly different. To keep things easy you will feel this a tie bar not so much.

hey, i had the bar on for a week, even took it off and regreased it trying to figure out the squeaking... now i feel like an idiot... thanks so much, it's great now...

[FenixTX717]

ok ya so i'm just pissed off and i give up on my sway bar! =(

completely stripped out the back side where you hold the open end....pb blasted the crap out of them and let it sit in it and still can't get them off and now since the back side nut is completely rounded i'm left to pretty much cutting the entire old sway bar up just to get it out....and even worse i have to some how sill get the bottom nut off!

i had this damn sway bar! it's causing me more troubles than anything!

Did you use a torch like I told you to? Get one then get some visegrips.

They use salt on your roads in winter? I remember removing chassis and exhaust bolts when I lived in NY State. EVERYTHING was rusted beyond recognition. Heat that sucker with a torch until it's cherry red, use leather gloves and vise grips. If that fails put the cutting head on the torch and burn it off.

Why yes they do. Daily drove it from NJ to Brooklyn to Queens and back again. I guess I'm one of the luckier ones though my exhaust was rust welded.

Anyone else notice the bushings not fitting properly? Mine are squished in there. The metal brackets are just sweezing the crap out of them. Might need to put some washers on to relieve some of the pressure from the bolts. Tried to switch the bushings (and brackets) around, but didn't seem to help.

Installed the RMDSM a while ago, just haven't gotten around to fixing it. DD's just been sittin'.

[kolio]

mine don't sit quite right either, but it dosent realy do anything bad. it's because we are using the stock brackets. i have heard others with aftermarket brackets( for larger swaybars) don't have the problem
