Re: which sways to get...vote! (retrospect)

I plan on getting the Autotech, but the shine is very interesting. The best prices I have found for the Autotech bars are from here http://www.mattechperformance.com/index.htm
Re: which sways to get...vote! (itg2001)

I was wondering if it would be insane to run a 22 mm front bar with a 28 mm rear....I figure such a large differential would kill understeer, but I'm afraid it would produce copious (and unsafe) amounts of oversteer. Has anybody tried this?

i was going to get the autotech however the ABDs are also hollow (lightweight) and cost less than the autotech

How hard is to install the front sway? If I get someone to do it how much would it be?
Re: which sways to get...vote! (Gabriel J)

is the rear swaybay needed or can i get away with just the a 25mm front sway?
Re: which sways to get...vote! (retrospect)

Don't know why, but I've always been a bit against Neuspeed. Maybe they produce excellent products, but in my head it sounds bad. That's just me though. I voted Autotech.

The car understeers when stock so IMO REAR SWAY should be done first.
I also got Autotech rear for $190 from http://www.mattechperformance.com/index.htm

Is there a big difference in weight between the autotech and the neuspeed bars?
Re: which sways to get...vote! (Rlbol)

There is quite a bit of difference in weight between the two. The autotech is hollow and extremely light! I installed my rear today in about 45 mintes. Although some complain about the drilling needed for the autotech, it was easy (completed with cordless drill - 2 batteries) and the upgrade is quite noticeable. Can't beat the Mattech price either.

What exactly did you have to drill?

Here is an excellent walk-through. Only differences I did was jack-stands were in front of rear wheels and I used car jack to lift the base of the coil spring to insert the strut bolts.

i am going with autotech myself. have the lower stress bar and love it
Re: which sways to get...vote! (IZFresh69)

I run NO front sway bar with a AutoTech 28mm rear... its GREAT. Its JUST right. not too much over, not too much under. Completely neutral
Re: which sways to get...vote! (WhiteG60)

by no front bar does that mean you removed the stock bar? with a stock front bar and a 28mm rear you will be all kinds of good http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif Thats what I have been running for a year.
And go autotech. Its a significant weight different

Re: which sways to get...vote! (retrospect)

If I had to do it all over again, I’d go with Autotech. Neuspeed is too heavy in my opinion . . .
