hey guys anybody upgraded sway bars yet what size and brand did you get should i go with bigger ones in front or rear and what setting do you guys have on it

 

melsta we always go with the H&R kit on our turbos here... No need for custom drop links either that way. I think I still have some here. If not it takes a day or two.

 

cool thanks maybe i'll stop by one day to see the shop

 

sharky, whats the cost of those? Do you need both? I hear a lot of people just run the rear one?

 

alex no i'm not buyin one i'm not i'm not .... how much are they ??? can i get one next wed ? no wait didn't i spend a bunch last week on my last mod i'll ever do when does it stop...

 

Steve, Did I see your TT on Laguna Boulevard by 99 a week or so ago? If that was you, your machine is stunning in person..

 

Aye they do- to help get rid of some understeer but most people end up then going and adding the front as well... Cost is 27x or so. I'll check when I get back in... on a "road tripe" right now

 

I thought the car only needed the rear and most have gone with the GT3 bar that I know.
Alex is the H&R thicker? Is is hollow. Are they direct replacements for stock? Do you change bushings at the same time?
TIA

Tom, the H&R really does have the "proper/correct" geometry. I used GT3 sways on my turbo and various suspension kits (from 03-5) and then switched to H&Rs for a number of reasons. When you see how the drop links bind (even when you get custom ones) you begin to realize that GT3 sways on a AWD turbo just aren't really meant to be- just my opinion. The H&Rs match the TT's geometry better and no drop link issues either...

They are beefier in the rear and 1mm thicker in the front as well. They are not as adustable (in terms of holes/points) but still give you three settings. They are not hollow either (hence beefier).

 

Dammit, im thinking i should have gone H+R then

 

I have the h&r sways set in the middle positions front and rear. They are perfect with the tt. you will love them. The Exotics run really showed me how well the sway bars worked.

Just got an H&R rear sway from Sharkwerks. Does help with the understeer. I'm running PSS9s and could notice a difference. I replaced the stock so can't compare to gt3's. And as usual, great and prompt service from Sharkwerks.

 

Suman what's the noticeable different, body roll and turn in stiffness or what?

 

I ran 55 or so laps at Portland international raceway this past weekend with the rear H&R sway set in the middle position (front sway stock), Pss9 set at 3 in front and 2 in rear. The car is perfect with just a hint of overstear. All I need is upgrade from PS2 to cup tires.

 

I feel they are night and day. The stiffness is greater yet still tolerable. Body roll feels non-existant. I suggest them with any coilover set with proggresive springs or stock setup. If you have a linear kit like JIC they might be to much or overkill but thats another question you can bring up in this thread. Good luck! I love them with my Gemballa Coilover kit.
