endlinks are not necessary. I run 27mm front and 24mm rear sways on stock endlinks with no problems

any advantage to running 24 over 27 in the rear?

You will have a bit better ride quality over bumps where one side of the car hits the bump and the other doesn't, and less oversteer. Stock front bar plus the 27 rear bar= a ton of oversteer (i actually run this setup but I also run 600lb front/500lb rear springs. 24 is perfect for 95% of people

right now i have 27 front 27 rear and was noticing alot of people choose 24 in the rear. So i'd have less oversteer?

[esqdgg]

is it worth the effort/$$ to mess with the suspension if i am only driving on roads, not really tracking it?

thanks for the advice on job 1 vs. job 2. i definitely think i need to pursue job 2 and fill in those gaps. and hope for the best.

You are right. Nothing bad will happen if you don't swap endlinks, but if you get a bigger bar (ie 22-24) and don't swap, you have a very large chance that your endlink will flip/bend/break. Check out this thread

Kit- if you auto-x, you will notice that larger rsb cause doglegging, as in rear wheel lift. While, this will not generally occur, unless you drive like a nut on the street, it definitely slows you down around the course. On the other hand, in road racing, the benefit of less body roll, and added rotation is generally helpful is shaving laptimes.

Now as you increase your spring rate, you can back off the size of sway bars. Sway bars are able to effectively changing your spring rate, without altering the ride. In all honesty, driving on the street, I would be super happy with a 27 fsb, 24 rsb and endlinks. But, the added camber I have just makes driving a blast! This is of course on stock springs.

Esq- if you are happy with stock, I would just get a new alignment and enjoy. Its only if you see a problem with your car's handling would I say add any parts.

Correct you'd have less oversteer with the smaller rear bar.

esqdgg: I'd say if you're just driving it around town i'd leave the suspension stock. Personally if I were just using my car for daily driving i'd get a nice set of springs like RCE's or something and a pair of smaller swaybars like the cuscos or smaller whitelines and be done with it. But that's mainly because I can't leave anything stock

Alright guys, my car is making a squeaking noise while driving. It is coming from one of the passenger wheel wells and it seems to get louder the warmer the car gets. I have yet to have a chance to pull the tires but I think it is brake related as when I press the brakes somewhat hard, the noise stops. Any ideas? New pads?

[pharo]

Is it light brake squealing?

It happens prior to pressing the brakes. When I am driving and the wheels are rotating, that is when it occurs. When I apply the brakes, it stops.

Got the Gruppe-S header, he he Now to decide between wrapping it or using some kind of spray on coating? I do not have the time to have crucial coat it if we are meeting up next weekend I don't think.

Kit any chance you can talk with those guys and checking to see if I can drop it off with you today??? Then what's his name can pick it up get it coated and drop it off at your place again? I know this is a lot to ask for, but you said he lives near your shop. I'll give him a $10 tip


Also will I need anything to make this header work/flow better?? I am getting new gaskets I know that for sure, just not sure what other pieces to get if any to make the header work better with my car?
