I just always saw rust. Depth of it is hard to tell unless crawling under the car and physically checking it.

I highly doubt it would be anyhting more than surface rust. If you have a part that is 27mm thick and has rusted to the point of failure, I have a feeling that is the least of your troubles.

O I completely understand. Just the sight of rust always concerns me

Anyone considering Cobb bars should also consider Hotchkis. Same construction (Hotchkis makes the swaybars Cobb sells), more options in terms of available sizes, and quite often much lower prices can be found.

i have the cobbs set at the middle and do "spirited driving" at the canyons and it can get tail happy. also depends on the tires. i would say middle is your best bet. unless you want to say " oh SH!T" going around the corners. it scares me sometimes when the tail swings out.

***fullerton*** · 02-04-2008, 03:56 PM

I'd go adj. Who knows what's in your future.

^^I would agree with that. If you don't like one setting, there's always two more..or at least one!

where is the standard COBB setting in comparison to the adjustable ones, soft, mid or hard. The car is a strict daily aggresive driver on not so perfect NYC roads and i don't have time to be making adjustments. thanks in advance.

I run my rear bar on the middle setting. Tried it on the soft setting for a few Auto-x runs and it understeered like a garbage truck. Middle setting is pretty neutral for me on RE01Rs with 0 toe all around.

since WL is stiffer than Cobb w/ the same diameter, but can u actually FEEL the different between those 2 when u drive or not?
