Funny story I thought I'd share.
I recently turned to improving the handling of the car. Goal is to be able to put down the best FWD times at the local Auto-X
After reading the stickes here and on Club EP3 i decided the best place to START would be with a new, stiffer rear sway, and an Em2 front sway.
So bought a RSX-s rear sway (21MM) from CRSX, and went to a local u-pull it and found a em2 (15MM) sway for 25$ (YAY)
After coming home i took off the rear sway that was on the car, and as i pulled the bushings off the rear sway i saw the little text "22MM" stamped into the rubber
:doh:
so apparently i already had the CTR rear sway.. wow, so glad i spent the money on the RSX-S one. BTW the bar i bought is now up for sale in the WTS Forum.
I did however install the Em2 Front sway. For those considering this mod here are some installation notes:
Does clear a k24 swap with ITR header
Required me to re-position the bracket that holds the shift cables against the body
otherwise a direct bolt in
Even though i already had the CTR rear sway, the Em2 front sway makes a very noticeable difference. The front bites harder, and holds more grip. There is less wheel-spin when i get on the power during corner.
Besides my BBK this is the best bang for the buck mod so far.
