best sways for tein flex's

st0k3d · 03-04-2007, 10:23 PM

hey guys, i did a search and couldnt come up with a great answer

i have tein flex's with edfc, fender braces, 4 point underbrace, front strut bar, rear strut bar, and steering rack bushings

the final piece i want to finish my suspension is a good set of sways and endlinks

i have already decided on kartboy end links

as far as sways go im on the fence. the car is my daily driver, i would like to ocassionally autocross the car (few times a year), and maybe track the car once or so

the car handles great already, but i know theres more in it

i hear that with stiff spring rates, you want to do a more equal size on the sways, instead of the famed big front on an impreza... the car already has great turn it, definatly has some understeer which i want to get rid of, but i also want it to be stable at higher speeds (no snap oversteer), than just be good at taking turns fast in parking lots if i was auto-xing, but dangerous in the real world

cuscos, maybe hotchis

on the other hand i see tons of people yelling big front big front more along the lines of whiteline with like a 27 front, 24 rear

so IWSTI.com learn me

thanks in advance

Adam

I have the cusco's paired with my Flex's. I also have the trailing arms and lateral links though as well. After a good alignment car handled like a dream. My front and rear bars are currently set to the center adjustment point until I get some real track time.

For high rates like the Flexes, the Cuscos would probably work pretty well. I would personally go with the Cobbs. They are hollow, so they are lighter than the Cuscos, but their effective diameter is about the same.

I have the Cobb swaybars with my Tein Flex's and it works VERY well for me. I keep the rear bar set on the middle setting, and my Flex's are always on full stiff.

ok cool thats what i was thinking for such high spring rates the smaller bars in a middle setting would work very well... i just wanna reduce my understeer a bit more...

i would go with the cobbs but i can get a great price on the cusco so thats what ill do than thanks
