    Worth the $40??

    So I found a guy locally whos selling a ST suspension 1" front swaybar with energy suspension bushings for $40


    You think it'd be a decent pickup for $40?? I use my car as a DD, with the occasional fun drive out in the country, and might take it out on the track once this year. You think the $40 would be worth it??

    Technically he would, most people that ive seen that actually race lower the size to an em2 sway or take it off like myself.

    Thats what im trying to figure out..if it'd be worthwhile for my current suspension setup. I wanna get a bigger rear sway at somepoint, but right now I have other priorities for the car and in my life. I figure for $40 its a great deal.

    I mean its only $40. And like I said, my car isn't something I go racing every weekend or anything. I DD the thing year round, I take it out on some of the B roads for fun every so often and have been thinking about maybe taking a drivers development course over the summer.

    So yay or nay?

    Depends. How much static camber to you have on the front end? How stiff are the springs there? Also, how does the cars handling balance feel to you now?
