Installed GTSPEC lateral arm bars

[Johndg]

Well, I installed these the other day with my AWR rear sway bar. I just have been to damn busy to take pics. Thanks o.g.sk8er for the instructions on the arm bars. I can feel a difference but Im not enjoying the loud popping. My girl wants me to take them off cause she freaks when ever we hit a bump. Which we do alot seeing that Im living in Fallbrook right now and its very twisty and bumpy. Well, she'll get over it. Im loving it.

why is it popping?

any idea what the popping sound is? I plan on doing the exact same set up, but will forego (sp?) the lateral arms if there is no remedy to the noise

Do those use the stock bushings or do they have bushings pressed in like AWRs?

 

[o.g.sk8er]

Hey John, glad to hear the instuctions worked for you! Looks great!

I'm wondering why you have a popping sound. I have very little noise with the AWR one's. I bet anything it's the rear sway bar. Did you have this noise before you put on the lateral links? Or did you install the sway bar and links at the same time?

 

[Johndg]

I did the install all at the same time. I guess it could be the sway bar. I dont really know.

They have new bushings. I got them cause I like the look of them better and it hides the brake line cable. The color helps to. I want the white and orange scheme. It reminds me of the old cars.

 

[o.g.sk8er]

Since you installed them at the same time, I'll bet you it's the sway bar. I'm almost certain of this. If you come the Jan 28th meet, I would like to see this in person.

Just installed mine couple of weeks ago, no popping sound though. Wonder what that is from.

wait....so you got the lateral bars because they look better?

is there any performance value to these?

 

[Johndg]

No. They seem exactly the same. I couldnt find any difference so whats next is which ones you prefer. I would never choose a part by look over performance.

 

[aMaff]

Dude, those look WAY stronger than the stock part...

 

[Johndg]

They are. Stock are hollow and very week.

Sway bar is removed, due to air ride.

ENTENSE, do you feel any difference with the GT-Spec lateral links?
