Suspension Techniques front/rear swaybars

[Green93TalonTSi]

ok, jsut got my Sus. Tech sway bars ( front and rear ) , and was looking at the front 1, and ti looks like, the front bar will hit/rub against my flex section on my downpipe. My donwpipe goes from 2.5" to 3" after the flex section. Has anybody had this problem and if so , what did u do to solve this ?


Also, jsut got my AGX front struts, and its time for alingment again, what would be a good camber setting in the front ? I want a good handling car. So far this is what I have for suspension:

Greddy Front strut bar
RRE rear strut bar
Eibach Sportlines
KYB AGX's

Let me know what ya think. thanks

If you don't want the car to understeer only use the rear bar, if you use both it will reduce body roll, but the handling balance will be the same as stock. Very few people run the front bar. You'll have to have the downpipe rewelded to make it fit.

So the car will handle like stock if I use the front bar ? Also do you know if the front bar is suppost to go under or over the downpipe ?

Ya, I have only seen one person use both. I would stick with just the rear

I noticed you all have 1st gens. does the same go for 2nd gen or for all cars??

I use both, don't even want to think about driving it without the front, it'd oversteer far too much (I mean it, my other car is an MR2, so I'm used to massive oversteer) . No problems with it hitting anything, I have the old RSR downpipe.

There's your 2g opinion

The 1G bar goes under the downpipe, I've heard of people tearing them off because of that.
Most 2G owners run the RM bars, they are setup to make the car handle neutral.

Well, Im gonna see how it goes. I got a used RRE downpipe that moves my flex section forward to clear the sway bar. I cant see the bar being any lower than the endtank on my FMIC from DSM Performance ( that hangs a bit lower than the bottom of my bumper cover )

I think sportlines are far too much of a drop to use with AGX shocks. I have about 2 inches of travel with my H&R sport springs, so I can't imagine what it would be like with sportlines.

Its actually not bad. I've had this setup for about 7-8 months, and they are handling it just fine. So, I dont think there will be any problems.
