Suspension 22mm Adjustable Rear Sway Bar?
#26
thanks again! i haven't even gotten the car yet. I ordered it on June 28 and it's not due to go into production for another 2 weeks (week 33, or August 12!). I had probably better drive it a bit so that when it comes time to do the RSB I will notice the difference.
Where is the best place to buy? Direct from NM, or WMW or someone else? I'll do the wrenching myself as I'm mechanically inclined.
Out of curiosity, would an install like this void any part of a warranty? I can imagine getting the runaround from the dealer if something went wrong, even if completely unrelated to a sway bar.

As far as warranty goes, if the repair/ damage is the result of installing aftermarket parts, then the dealer will void the warranty for that particular parts, but the dealer got to prove that the damage is related to the aftermarket parts. For instance, if something goes wrong in the engine bay(knock on the wood), and the dealer also saw you installed an aftermarket sway bar, they can't blame the engine problem was related to the sway bar.
Another instance where you installed an aftermarket cold air intake, and the intake sucks in water into the engine causing hydro lock to the engine. This time the dealer can definite void your warranty for the engine repair.

I have it on the softest setting for now, which is stiffer than the 19mm stiffest. Haven't tried the others yet, so far on the street that's plenty. After some track time and auto-x I'll try medium. As I mentioned above, a racer with plenty of experience told me that 19 is all that's needed.

Good thing that YOU are happy with it, because that's what counts, isn't it? No need to diss someone else's choice. I have no complaints about the quality of the Alta bar, it is well made with excellent welds and a high quality finish - way beyond "rattle can."

Torque Specs for H-Sport Comp Rear Sway Bar Bushing Brackets?
I'm going to be installing my H-Sport 25.5mm Comp Rear Sway Bar tomorrow and the instructions that came with have no torque specs at all, not even on the Hotchkis Sport Suspension website. I have all the other torque specs for everything else, sub-frame bolts, top shock mounts, lower shock mounts, end links and lug bolts. I need the specs for the torque specs on the Hotchkis bracket bushings please!
Thanks,
Systemlord.

I have been driving for quite awhile today and holy cow does my MCS handle better than before, it turns in the direction I'm pointing the front wheels. No longer do I feel the rear end of the car fighting with me going into a high speed turn, no more body roll. The rear end feels very responsive when you change lanes abruptly right and then left really fast, what a bang for your buck mod!
Thanks to everyone for your input, I couldn't be happier!

I enjoyed driving it so much that I let my fuel gauge get to two red carrots with 40 miles left until no fuel, I was to busy paying attention to driving! I pushed it really hard without any side effects, of course try that on wet pavement and I'll end up around a pole!
