Big Fan of TMS Sway Bars

I had these installed 6 weeks ago and two track events later I can say I am ver pleased. The first pic is with the TMS sways, the second is not. As you can see big difference.

Lovely pic really show the grip of coupe....carrying some nice load through that turn and car looks nice and balanced.

What rubber you running out there?

Enjoy the transformation!

Yes, I put front and rear. Stiffest up front, medium in the rear.

Only other suspension mods, if you'd call them that, is h&r springs and turner camber bolts.

Thank you. Unfortunately, tires are the week link right now for me. I bought the Advan's used and they came with a set of hankook v12.

Downside is that grip is weak, upside is I had some fun drifting. They are definitely not great for lap times. Hopefully some R888's in the near future.

Once you slap on those r888's your suspension becomes limiting factor. Always something! I was on same setup till this year and upgraded to MCS...transformed car.

So, true.

Then he'll install Hoosiers and need 1000lb springs and need revalved da struts.

Experience any twitching in the rear with the addition of the rear sway? Any trouble powering down and tracking out?

As well, IMO I would try and step to RS3s, ZIIs or similar before going to R888s

No twitchiness. As for putting power down tracking out, it's been more difficult due to tire traction. Understeer has been dialed out, and car will rotate nicely and predictably, but these tires really have poor traction.
