What hole did you use? Oh boy, can't wait for this response.

Its hooked up to the middle hole for now. For the fronts, the hole closest to the rear is the stiffest setting and for the rear, the hole that is furthest front is the stiffest setting. I wanted to see how they were in the middle for now and then maybe later if I decide to make them stiffer, I can just adjust it. But on the ride home, it felt great so most likely I will keep them where they are.

That's what I was thinking too. Those adjustments actually can control understeer and oversteer.

Yeah thats what the instructions said. They said the firmer setting in the front will help with oversteer. Maybe I should put it to that?

lets put it this way... oversteer can be controled by the driver. understeer is what it is. neutural in the middle where you have it is where i would keep it unless the front end still plows, if you see that problem then slide it for more oversteer to prevent it. front end plow is not fun and im glad these sways really diminish that.

What does the front end plowing mean?

EDIT: Wait, Im guessing thats the front end sliding. I dont have that problem I dont think.

Congrats Joey and way to go Adam!

If your not having that problem then it means your not going fast enough on the tollway ramps lol.

Lol I havent tried with the new sways yet.

I get it sometime like when your going down a ramp and the ramp curve changes to a more severe curve. If your going the limit when that happens, you might plow the front end a little. I just hit the brakes a little and pour on the gas. Bad driver mod can cause it too btw lol.

I was finally able to test them out yesterday and there is a HUGE difference over the stock sways. On an exit ramp by my house there is a really sharp half circle and I usually can only take it at 40mph before I feel my car start to lean and go off track a little. Well Yesterday I took it at 60mph with no lean at all and I couldof went even faster but there was a car ahead of me so I had to slow down. I am EXTREMELY happy with these sways. The pedders touring suspension probably helped out a bit too but I know the sways helped out the most.

Tom, I think if you set your sways to the middle hole, you should be fine. Thats where mine are and I didnt get any front end plow. The car felt like it was glued to the road.

Pics of the new stance?

Then you pass them on the right and apply Rule #1 of Italian Driving.....What is behind you does not matter. lol.

I wish I got a better angle of the "before" pic. The angle was a little high so the difference doesnt look as big as it is.

BEFORE:




AFTER:

It looks awesome bro.

I have to see it in person, to be honest there is no way in hell that looks like a 2"drop. Maybe its the camera angle like you said.

I dont think its a 2" drop either. Thats what the website says but I doubt it is 2". There is a difference in person and I like the way it sits now. I know for sure it is lower because before I could go over speed bumps with no problem and now I have to pretty much idle over them or else ill scrape the hell out of the bottom of my car.

ok i am really confused why the car would drop at all from changing the sway bars???

Lol I got the pedders shocks/struts and lowering springs too. Adam installed them at the same time he installed my sways.

ohhh... well that would make a hella lot more sense then lol

I'm sure pics do no justice. If its anything like Anthony's car then I know it looks great! Anthony's looks super aggresive.

i wont say stack sways were my best mod yet, because i get my blue tops installed tomorrow and we will see what that does. but i will say that sways are now on my list as a mandatory first mod for any car i will ever buy in the future.
