    F&R Sway Bars ontop of Coilovers, Yay or Nay?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So i recently got a set of Bilstein PSS10's and am pretty damn excited to get them on my car.
    The question i have for the forum is whether or not you guys think a Front and rear sway bar is necessary with the new coilovers? Now obviously, nothing is necessary, but just based on personal experience, does the sway bar make a huge difference ontop of coils?

    Also, if i were to get sway bars, are the end links really worth getting as well?

    F&R Sway Bars ontop of Coilovers, Yay or Nay?

    Based on several threads in this forum, upgraded end links are not needed unless you do tracking. Sway bars are not only to reduce body roll in the corner, which PSS does well, but also to reduce understeer (rear) and give better turn-in feel (front). Therefore sway bars are very beneficial even on top of the coils.
    One thing you can save is the front sway bar. This car tends to understeer, adding a stiffer front sway bar could make the understeer worse although you get better turn-in feel. The rear sway bar is a must in my opinion.
    If you get both sway bars, be sure to set front softer and rear stiffer.

    Get them both. Front soft rear stiff. I have the end links but not sure what they're actually doing...

    In my no sports diff car I only did the rearARB/sway.I can now get myself a touch of oversteer when needed
    To enhance steering feel I fitted an uprated strut brace
