^^ just rear? i hear it's pointless to have either front or rear sway bars installed. buy them seperately, but have them installed at the same time

eh not in all cases, for example the WRXs need a rear sway bar to reduce their under steer

let me clarify....we're not talking about wrx's.

On the RX-8, it makes LITTLE sense to install one at a time. The only reason you would do that is if you're trying to offset something you've already done to the car; staggered wheels, etc.

Reason is because with the staggered setup i have with my car, i have a bit of understeer so this just correct my problem..

This is exactly what Ullllose suggested that I do to my car for the autocross setup...that is, if I was going to run my staggered rims. For the street, I don't feel I need to go any faster...so no need for sways.

toca, you doing the autocross on Sunday next weekend? We have the San Bernardino meet on Saturday, and then the Cal Club autocross event on Sunday. I think you would be in BSP class with Casey, or maybe STS.

I assume you have your pullies and everything ready to go. You get your headers yet? Dyno'd yet?

yea true but as you can see i pointed out reasons why one might only use one sway bar, to reduce understeer, like in a wrx owners case or kwiks, but i agree with you generally with the rx8 you should do both at once.

Casey already has his number and Cal Club points card. I don't yet. I have my numbers and card for the SD events, but they are different organizations. I hope to get the same number, but won't know until Sunday. We arent' doing the practice event on Saturday, since we are having the San Bernardino meet this Saturday. I'm sure Casey, Scott, or one of the Jason's will post more info about the event this Sunday on the San Bernardino thread. We'll see you out there. Don't know whether Erica or Cesar will be joining us as well.
