What would I need to out handel a stock R1 FD3S?

how you can argue with this is beyond me...

While many people might agree with the idea of leaving the front bar stock on a 1G, there is at least one suggestion in that list which makes zero sense: the idea of using a Kaaz in the front when trying to autocross. And given that there's one serious error, there could easily be another. I, for one, am in favor getting total roll stiffness up as high as possible, which could involve a thicker front bar.

ps. the other way to go lawn-mowing is to LFB with Metal Masters, right?

the stuff is a little dated, but so is the upgrade path for dsms.

"Long time DSM shop owner, Mike brought his car out to a pair of ProSolos in California and won SM both times. This makes him the first DSM to win in National-level SM, and the only 1G car to ever win a National level event. Mike has not competed since."

it works and for around his price range.

i don't disagree about swapping out the front sway bar, but it's bi*** and doesn't give that much of an improvement. if it was easier...maybe.

Thanks, I think I got a general idea now.
