H-Sport rear bar, I'm a believer!
 
Just got back from a road test with my new H-Sport Competition rear swaybar installed. Wow! I set the bar on full soft and running stock suspension with good tires for street driving and the car is transformed.

Understeer is gone.
Transients in tight esses are a dream.
Steering is much lighter.
The car is much quicker coming out of the corners.
It just feels much faster overall. It may be an illusion but I swear the car accelerates faster!

I would not think the middle or full stiff setting would be good for a street driver as the car feels pretty light at higher speeds. Someone not paying attention could get goofed up quick.

I can't wait to set it up for true auto-x on a tight course like we typically run here in South Bend at the Tire Rack test facility.

This is the way the car was supposed to be. Worth every penny.:thumbsup:

If your club runs Test 'n Tunes it would be well worth your while to take jack stands and sockets so you can try all 3 settings. I run with a lot of camber so I found the stiffest setting to be the best. Maybe it's because I'm used to it now but I run stiffest even on the street with street alignment and Yoke Prada's. Love the feel of the rears starting to drift on hard turns.

When you say a lot of camber, how much? Are speaking about the front or rear? I can guess, but why, when you have the answer:thumbsup:

Last year I ran -2.5 front and -2.0 rear. On 15" Victoracers I had 42 psi front and 36 psi rear. This seemed to be the right amount of oversteer for me. Check out the rear camber in this pic:
