I just got the car back from progress. They are going to be making a rear sway bar and springs for us. Release date of about 4 weeks for the bar, and about 6 weeks for the springs. Not decided yet, but they are thinking a 1.8" even drop, with qutie a bit higher spring rates then stock. On a side note, The sedan was even with the liftback with front weight, but the sedan was 40 lbs lighter in the rear. Kinda odd I thought.... I will keep you guys updated...

Do the sedans come with a rear sway at all?

Will they be making a rear sway for the Liftbacks (we dont have one.. period!)?

Are you saying that the sedan is lighter than the liftback?

[FlintS]

The sedan is 40 lbs lighter then the liftback... And the sway bar will fit the sedan and the liftback. The cars share the same suspension....

[Chris07LB]

I dont understand how that could be.. :confused:

But you are correct!

Curb Weight

Liftback = 2,290 lbs.
Sedan = 2,288 lbs.

:eek:

[Chaad32]

It doesn't make sense to me either. I guess our rear hatch just weighs a ton...

[FlintS]

Pretty odd for sure. The same width, a little shorter ( the Sedan), but way longer. All I can think of is the glass.

[Sp33dY]

Liftback = probably a stronger / more metal chassis ... = more weight.

Also, the rear slidey seat assembly weighs heaps in comparison to the sedans which is static.

are you speaking of the 60/40 split, fold, tilt seat or the plain rear seat? i haven't weighed the rearseat assembly, and i'm curious as to how much it actually weighs (w/ rear seat belts, ofcourse)

read some where that the sedan is about 2 inches narrower, 2 inches shorter(less tall..), and 2 inches longer

Same width as far as I know, but def shorter height and londer length

[rstb88]

msn autos says its .2 inches skinnier

[johnnyfive]

I wouldn't be too surprised about the weights- hatchbacks are usually heavier than their sedan counterparts (the Acura Integra 4 door sedan is lighter and stiffer than the hatchback, the 96-00 Civic sedans are lighter than the hatchbacks and coupes, and so on). Sp33dy and FlintS are both right- glass and hatchback doors weigh a ton, and there is extra bracing to make up for the smaller/more compact pillars.

ya hence the HUGE C Pillars
