Nice. The sway bars look like piping to me. In the trunk of the Rally Reno it looks like the start of a fiber glass speaker system, but there really has to be another reason for those holes.

You mean the one one I replaced after I tore it off at a gas station, replaced, then some one keyed me?

Update: I just ran a nice, heavly curved road, and you can feel the difference. What held it back was my skill level, not the other way around.
The only complaint I have is I seem to bounce alittle now. I think its the fact that the only stock peice on that part of the suspention is the shocks. Ugraded springs, and swaybars, same shocks.

I laugh at you. Ha Hahahahaha. It is a cornering ace now, thats for sure.

On the hill, I was chalanging a Yamaha. Couldn't see what it was, just a Yamaha. He had the better acceleration off the line, but I was entering corners faster. Might of been the driver, but he had a good lean in them
I also learned that theres less warning before the rear starts to slip. The Body rolls is so little now that the tires song is the only clue.
Atleast, thats what I noticed on my first run with the car like this. Still need an alignment, and maybe a sanity check. Adrenaine is a drug!

Dude if I was able to drive stick, I would take your car for spin and show you a thing or two. lol I would take your car to the limit and then some. Some times when I go thru Aciaca Park I make the tires sing real loud thru the turns, and if there are people near by they look at me like what the hell is that guy doing. I can only take the turns there at 45 max as any faster I start to loose the car and run out of room on the road. But once I get the sway bars in I see how fast I can take the turns.

Big words from an auto driver.
Task it to the limit and then some? Um, no. Theres a limit, then its good by clean driving record. The reason why your tires sing is due to the facct that your mods include: New Tires, no rear headrests.
You have the body roll to help tell your body that its reached its limits. I have almost no roll. Got to get to geather and take a ride in the navigator seat.
The fact that your able to corner that fast is the good skid pad on the car. That and the FF likes to power through corners. I know that was my out when the back started to slide alittle. Very small amout of gass and it righted its self

lol

I already have a point on my drivers license for speeding. I know I am such a bad boy. The tires I have on the car are not new actually. As far as having body roll to tell me when the car is slipping or not, thats not really true. I have driven my dads Lexus (IS 350) which is much stiffer than my car, and I was able to take 45 MPH turns at 55+. I was taught to learn where the wheels of the car where when I was learning how to drive, which is part of the reason for my driving skills.

Also Zipp remember what I said when we met up? That I was only going to do the front sway bar so that my car will not be totally on the rails. Becuase I wanted to feel the car at least some. Don't get me wrong, I do want to stiffen up the car, but I don't want to kill off all of the body roll as you say I won't be able to feel the car.
