Rear Sway Bar Impression

[Gr8Speed]

I got the Tru-Torsion 125 RSB about a week ago and it sat in the back seat of my car until yesterday waiting to be installed. In the course of that I went to a couple car meets and showed a few people. Every person that picked it up agreed it was both beautiful and beefy. I went to install it, and the install was a breeze. The bar fit perfectly, and the billet brackets made mounting it a dream. Anybody that looks at the billet brackets next to the stock ones should see how over the top this bar is designed. You can tell a lot of thought went into how to make this bar the best it could be.

From the beefy bar to the billet mounting brackets all the way to including 17mm hardware to replace the 14mm hardware (which by the way converts all of the swaybar hardware to one size- change the swaybar with one wrench) this swaybar is one of the finest pieces I have ever installed. As a mechanical designer I work for a company that takes pride in doing it right, and this piece is DONE RIGHT. Thanks @jbarone; and I look forward to what comes next.

i think you just sold me. Been looking at sway bars and this will likely be added to my list...

Like to hear your impressions after driving it.

So far I'm loving it. Haven't AutoXed with it yet, but the car is much more responsive through round abouts and around corners.

I've had mine for over a year now, don't really remember how the car felt before I had it. I do remember how excited I was after driving with it for the first time. Blew my mind. It's a damn well made bar and I haven't had any issues so far. To think of it I haven't even touched it since my initial install except for greasing it 6 months ago. What setting are you using?

Middle setting for now. Daily driven and the roads here suck. Will go full stiff for autoX though.

I drove around for nearly 2 years on the middle setting...just recently switched to full stiff and I could slap myself for not doing that sooner. Nothing wrong with the middle setting and it did transform the cars handling, but in my opinion full stiff is where it's at. Turn in is quicker and more precise and I'm able to get on the throttle earlier on corner exit.

Thanks to JBR for an amazing product....now I just need to order me some new billet mounting brackets!

Those brackets rock. So easy to work with and the little port to grease with is genius.

This ^, the stiffest is where it's at. I've never even tried the 2 other settings any softer and I would be disappointed. I daily drive is Los Angeles and our roads are not great really have no issues ever. I'm even considering moving to the .250 bar for an increase in stiffness although I would probably stay at the softest setting.

Hmmmm.... Going to go switch it and see how it is.
