Its been mentioned by some road race guys on a other forum. I was working on my suspension all weekend so I figured I'd try it and see what it was like. It feels really loose and makes steering more direct. It seemed like I could get on throttle sooner in longer coners but in tight ones I would just spin the wheels. I think it also has to do with the fact my rear wheels are at like -2* toe in. So turn in is really fast and very direct but the car slides all over the place. I need an alignment quickly.

After that I put the sway back on and I like it better.

Grease fitting mod w/ Z32 uprights works even better than I had hoped. I now can move the entire assembly when the shock is not connected almost through the entire range of motion. I think the biggest problem was that I still had the OEM traction rod, and that thing would not move at all, BIND CITY. Now that its been replaced by an SPL unit, and the upright bushings where changed out everything works better. I just need a solution the the RLCA bushings because the ones I got didnt seem to be the correct size.
