Suspension H&R Sway Bar Kit
#126
With all the tinkering you guys have been doing, does anyone know or can anyone confirm/find out the distance center-to-center of the front sway bar plastic bracket? I think I might have found a billet mount bracket that will work for the front bar but will not know until I can confirm location of the bolt holes.

3 3/4" Hole distance on bracket.

UPDATE:
I bought TVPostSound's H&R front solid 27mm adjustable sway bar to add to my suspension, which is fully done and adjustable (which includes a WMW hollow 25mm rear sway bar on GMaxx adjustable links + NM billet brackets). Just did the install and been driving it for a couple weeks now. I still need an alignment after about a $1K more of goodies being added to suspension to finish it off.
On the softest setting front and rear sway bars, I get a tad bit of understeer under very hard cornering (think hairpins or 90+ degrees) - otherwise it sticks. Next time I am tinkering, I will set the rear bar to "intermediate" (I can set the rear bar to soft, intermediate or hard) and test again. If I still induce understeer, I will set the rear to hard and leave it.
For everyone reading this thread who has done a rear bar only: you are driving an extremely UNBALANCED suspension setup and no matter what you do to dial it in, it will never fully perform. You need to make a decision and do your front bar but in a balanced way so you realize the full potential of your car's handling. Without a matching upgrade in the front, your car will be twitchy, prone to snap oversteer and surprise you in the worst moments when you need it most. Feel free to reach out and ask questions.

For strut type suspensions, an anti-roll bar does wonders for handling. By design, strut type suspensions do not gain enough camber as they compress to offset the camber loss from body roll. An anti-roll bar then allows the tires to retain better contact with the road surface for improved handling. Those that don't get it will argue that a front anti-roll bar is only going to increase understeer. But, that just isn't the case. The bar actually increases grip because the tire isn't rolling over on itself.
