interesting...i'll have to look into this!

I got my Worx Tuning Competition Swaybar set installed yesterday. Firts impressions: wow... I was amazed at how differently the car behaved on roads that I drive almost every single day. I was taking it easy on them and it still felt super fast compared to how hard I had to work before to keep the car in line. Some turns, the car just hooked right in. Oversteer was almost completely eliminated - it was only when I pushed the car hard that I felt some and it was a different kind of oversteer; the whole car would push outwards just a tad and not just the front end. The rear sway bar is amazing for sure. I have them on the stiffer setting (hole closer to the bar) and don't forsee putting it any softer. Here are a few pics of the bars installed.

I am going to post a how-to in the suspension forum for those who might be squeemish at the thought of installing sways on their own - it's not all that hard. As always, your comments and feedback is appreciated!

Worx Tuning Sway Bar Install How-To

PS. My endlinks and springs are on the way still, so....

My Worx Tuning springs are here! I can't wait to get them on.

***JPWEraser*** · 04-28-2006, 03:06 PM

Here are a few pics of the Worx Tuning springs installed. I absolutely *love* the drop. It rides nice and doesn't hardly bounce any now at highway speeds. I plan on waiting another 800 miles or so and then I will get an alignment.

And the mystery tool to get the strut mount 17mm nut off... I love this tool now that I have a set, but it baffled me for a good while how in the world I was going to get that 17mm nut off without turning the strut shaft itself. Well, these little boogers are nice.

Looks great, how much do they drop your car?

Thanks man, sorry I missed your comment - I appreciate it.

I picked up a Syms wing this week (thanks Jenner) and I like it a lot so far. The paint is almost a perfect match, but close enough for me to live with. Here are some shots. The bag on the left in the first picture is cat nip before someone asks.

LightWerkz · 05-13-2006, 09:42 AM

Wing looks hot indeed.

Irishsti · 05-13-2006, 10:04 AM

LOVE the wing. The car looks hott!

***JPWEraser*** · 05-13-2006, 01:03 PM

Thanks guys. It was either Syms or wingless, and I just found a good deal on the Syms.

Chris05STi · 05-14-2006, 05:20 AM

I always love seeing that wing on any STi. Great job!

Stik11 · 05-14-2006, 07:12 AM
