So, what gives the most benefit with otherwise stock setup?

Ok, no reply which leaves me in the position to place foot-n-mouth. I would assume that with FWD the strut bar gives more seat of the pants input with stock setup.

I got both the front strut tower bar and the rear anti-sway bar. Body roll is virtually gone. I couldn't tell you which helped more, but I would assume the anti-roll bar.

With the front struts so close to the firewall you are most likely correct. is your sway bar TRD?

I'm going for everything all together but just lowering the car and getting wider tires on seems to make a huge difference.

I want to get a few miles on her before the radical suspension upgrades.

BTW, the more I drive this dam thing the more I like it!!!:wink:

nothing radical, you'll like the driving a ton more, I could hardly get the thing home stock, it felt like such crap:smile:

At the risk of starting one of those suspension setup knowledge pissing contests, I've found that the rear TRD sway reduces the understeer and front wheelspin in corners, and also helps rotate the rear of the car around the corners immensely...

I would venture to say it does much more than a strut bar so close to the firewall...

Cheers

ya but, I want to start a pissing contest among web super hero's! :biggrin:

I think you are most likely correct in your assumption.
