Whiteline Sways now avail?

Yeah, I've said that before. Its because the stiffer bars work better with a stiffer suspension. Hotchkis are stiffer than the stillen. I think the stillen are great for stock

If you have something with a higher springrate, then go with the thicker bars. You will be able to make the most out of the combination of the two.

I have Stillens (set to the medium position on the rear). They are about perfect for the stock spring and shock set-up. I experimented a bit this weekend and the stiff setting actually took too much feel out of the car. I actually felt it as soon as I pulled out of the driveway. Soft setting is great (I've run it this way the past few thousand miles) , Medium is a nice tweek up which I think I will stick with..

This car is extremely sensitive to minor chassis changes. The sways are one example, Spacers (15mm) on the rear only resulted in more understeer. Balancing them with the same on the front brought it back
