That's a lot of gear for a trackday/Autocross car. If that's you intention.

Yeah, probably. But I've had these thing for about 4 years now and haven't installed them. And while this car is used for track days/autocross it's also a weekend street car.

Unless I missed it, I didn't read anything about the performance of the bars, just the installation and fitment. How do you like them? I'm getting close to getting strano bars , and want to make sure its worth it instead of just skipping and going to watts link first

thanks

It's been way too long since I installed mine to remember any A-B comparison against "stock". Stock in quotes because I'd had the rear Konis in for a while by then already, and added the front Konis at the same time as the bars. IIRC, roll became slightly less, but the overall balance didn't seem to change much.


My set of bars was the early 35/22 set, where the later one is 35/25 or thereabouts. I started out mid/mid for adjustments and moved up to mid/full stiff after only a couple of weeks. There's a little 'push' out near the limits of grip, but it's not horrible and I can stay on most other cars' tails through the middles of corners.

Performance is great, I have them set to full stiff right now and the car handles like it's on rails. I haven't had a chance to test the setup at AutoX but hopefully I will soon (depending on if I can get my 4.10's re-shimmed by the next AutoX day).
