They feel great on the car and I don't really have understeer issues at all. Back comes around real easy and it makes sense from a physics perspective...am I missing something?
I have Stillen sway bars too. 5 different settings in the front and 3 in the back. I found them to be an awesome improvement over stock.

Mike - Glad to see you survived SEMA, I always enjoy reading your blog.

General Question:

I also have the Stillen sways ...
1. Please tell me which hole is softer/harder
2. I suppose you can stagger the setup on either bar (ie. use front hole on one side and back hole on other side of the same bar to have a setting inbetween the two, etc)
3. Any clearance issues with the Whitelines and aftermarket exhaust (ie. fast intentions)

As always, thanks for educating me as I am just entering this awesome (but expensive) addictive hobby

The farther out toward the end of the adjustment blade you go, the softer the setting. So for example, on the front bar, the farther back toward the rear of the car the softer.

I don't forsee any fitment problems with the Whitelines and aftermarket exhaust, but I am still running the stock exhaust so I'm probably not a good one to ask. I am sure there is someone out there with the Whiteline/FI combo that can comment.

Mike,
I just purchased the Whitelines s/b with the rear endlinks (thru Kamispeed). I should be able to comment on the install issues with th FI cbe soon (read: when no more snow in Montreal...).
Did you had the opportunity to test with and without the endlinks? I am curious about the difference...
Phil

I don't have the end links yet. They probably won't make a massive difference, they will just allow you to optimize the effectiveness of the bar and take tension off of the end links so they don't break.

Mike,
Got the sway bars installed today. Frt & bck set to the softest settings. I could feel the difference coming out of the garage! Initial feedback is that the car feel a lot more "seatted" around highway exist or even when changing lanes!

Fitting with the FI CBE is no issue at all.

The endlinks looked like a "generic" product with lost of adjustments avail. I set it up same as OEM. Anyway, they are a big improvment over the stock ones...
Will probably move into the medium rear setting before my next track day.
I haven't weighted them but they are around 35% heavier than stocks.
Phil
