anyway, here are some pictures!

Pink

i love the sway, BUT dont get the benefit of this horizonatl endlink style setup.

it almost looks like the sway is contacting the subframe (or will)...

what gives??

ese

ps- please fill me in on this; i thought my whiteline x3006 was the ultimate fsb, but it looks like NOT!!

The sway doesnt contact the subframe... it has been reported (including me

) that it contacts the steering rack bracket, I solved that problem by shaving down the bolt head some to accomodate the bar, you could however use a shim of some sort between the bushing mounting brackets down some, to move the bar a little away from that bolt, either works... and the bolt can still be moved, its not destroyed. People have reported rubbing from the endlink bracket to the control arm too, but these are people that had faulty installs, you gotta have the bracket oriented correctly or it will rub. For me, my bar might contact the endlink bracket because I didnt use all the washers, next weekend I am going to add the extra 2 too each endlink just incase. Anyway I like the bar over my old whiteline x3006, as far as steering feel and turn in response, I can notice it... its winter and I have winter tires so I am not going to tell you about how it really handles compared to the other bar, but come april I am gonna have lots to do autox/hpde wise so I cant wait! I will write up about it then.

Hope that helps you some.

Those wheels better look damn good for you to have stayed up till 5:15 a.m.

Maybe we'll see you two (paint under your fingernails and all!) at the auto show tonight!

**Nachos Libres** · 02-11-2006, 05:00 AM

I bet painting those wheels will be fun.

Hawaii_guy · 02-11-2006, 07:59 AM

Did you use a old report/homework to cover the tires...?
