Madness Sway Bar for Sale

I have changed the sway bar to one less stiff for Race Tires. The madness was great on the street, but to tight when running race tires.

I'm asking for 99 dollars plus 20 for shipping. I have the busings and will provide a new packet of lubricant from Energy suspension.

E-Mail me dan@piloracing.com

Not sure this is the place for this question but I hope to be adding R compound tires soon and have H-Sport springs and H-Sport rear sway bar. What's the drawback/adverse handling characteristics with a stiff rear sway bar and stickier tires? I currently have the rear sway in the tightest hole trying to get the rear around a little but it seems to add a little squirelliness (for lack of a better term ). Overall handling seems to be better in the middle hole but I still have a lot of understeer even in the tightest hole. Yoko AVS ES 100 205/45-17 tires. I'm getting a little frustrated.

It is the 3 hole version.

The problem was that I had WAY to much over steer on all holes. I went with a thiner design, and only a 2 hole adjustable and the traction is much better. With it tight and the r compound tires, I almost always was lifting a wheel which caused the car to act as if it was RWD, loosing rear grip way before it should have.

This was not the case with street tires because there was not enough traction to lift the wheel, so it stayed the right way.
