handling
 

hey guys whats up newbie over here
i was on cork sport lookin at all these sway bars an ting
i was wondering if anyone had any of these handling enhancers on thier cars and if so how much of a difference they made
any input would be appreciated
oh and also
are ebay short shitfers any good?

probably the best handling protege I've seen is DaveB's automatc P5. Here's his set-up

Tokico Illumina Struts
Eibach Pro Kit springs
AWR 21mm front sway bar
AWR 19mm rear sway bar
AWR adjustable endlinks

Seems like a lot of work but he frequently races his car in auto-x and I've seen video footage of him out cornering a few porsches and a corvette. It REALLY makes the car stand out in a turn. He doesn't much straight line speed but he's dogging everyone in the corners.

I have skunk2 coilovers, sturt bar, and i had the racing beat rear sway bar with custom mounting bracket and custom made endlinks which i sold. Corners really good. The ebay shifters are ok, they do the job. I have an OBX short shifter from ebay, i had to replace the C clip that holds the shifter in place, the one that came with the kit was crap, made my shifter fall thru the floor, other then that it ok. I wish i would have save and boought the adjustable one.

where do you get the front sway bar? i looked on the awr online store and only see rear sway bars. thanks

AWR makes two rear bars, a 19MM, and a 21.5MM (the stock rear bar is 15.9MM DX/LX, and 16.0MM ES/P5 --so if you were planning on turning your DX/LX into a handling monster by adding the rear bar from an ES/P5, the difference is .004", about 2/3's the thickness of a single sheet of paper). The only larger front bars I know of are Racing Beat/MP3/MSP.
