Good and Bad news (25mm swaybars!)

[Turbo_neon]

Well i have had some noise in the right rear of the car so i took it to the subaru place and they said that my rear sway bar was hitting. The thing is that it hasnt been doing this for 3 weeks so i ordered new 25mm sways and endlinks (front and rear). So if that dosent work i am going to fly back over there and give them the :asshole: sign and tell them to fix it because its not my suspension. On a side notes the dumbasses changed my oil and i had just had it changed 2 weeks ago lmao but the thing is that i had synthetic put in so on monday i guess ill have to get them to change that too. I get the sways in tomarrow so ill hit this thread up and tell everyone how it gose!

Also has anyone else ever had this problem when lowering their car?

I installed a 22mm Whiteline rear sway and solid endlinks about 2 years ago. I get clunking all the time. I have greased everthing time and time again to no avail.

what year and make suby you have? alot of the 04-05 wrx have a bad strut problem and rear passenger side.

very well known problem. the stock kyb struts on the suby suck ass

[Turbo_neon]

its an 05 sti and they have already replaced the strut in the same one that is making noise again so i hope its not another strut because if it is then they will prob. not cover it under warenty since i lowered it.

They are good quality (maybe overdone unless your a hard core racer) but make sure you get at least 10k front and 8k rear springs on them. A friend of mine got them with softer rates and its like a pogo stick on the highway.
The Teins are real nice quality, come with great spring rates, and are much more versitile for street use with the EDFC in car controler. My .02

[BrewPuBeaver]

ridden in both

teins are a lot more well rounded.

both have some sort of EDFC.

teins are cheaper.

[QuickOne]

Snip

both have some sort of EDFC.

snip.

The dampening is adj. but not electronic from inside the car?

[BrewPuBeaver]

oopss i was thinking of the Cusco ones. my bad. the Zero 2`s. so no i havent ridden in the jic's.

and the jics dont have a electronic in car EDFC

Whose bars?

Hotchkis Competition kit

[Turbo_neon]

yea those, the street ones, i just had the front one put on a mastro the other day and dude this is the best handiling mod ever (aside from coilovers i guess)! There is absolutly no understeer at all damn i love these things! I went around one of the on ramps with 2 lanes and was doing about 65 with the tires begging for mercy but it stayed under control.

[blackwagon]

Front one made less understeer? weird...

[Frankie Figs]

+1 :? Rear decreases understeer, but increases oversteer. So be carefully, you could learn how to drift real quick ;)

Well it works a little different with AWD. Heavier front DOES reduce understeer.

i need something to help my understeer while drifting ;-)

[Turbo_neon]

i have my rear one on the middle setting and there is absoluty no understeer but i havent got to get on it real good but from what i have done so far i love them
