AWR 21mm swaybar installed

yup, passenger side is worse. I hate the noise but you are right, the car handles great.....I can't wait to see what struts and springs will do!!!!!

ok did some searching and couldnt come up with a clear answer to any of this so im gonna ask you guys. Ok heres the deal, i have pretty much decided that i want the mp3/msp struts and sway bars, so heres my question, that never seems to be answered. Do the mp3's and MSP's have different endlinks than the p5? I read somewhere that they are the same and somewhere else said they are different lengths. Also one more thing the AWR adjustable endlinks can be used with the MSP/MP3 sway bars right? Thanks again for any info.

Thanks WShade.
I've been under my car tightening every bolt, wondering where that creak's coming from. To me it only seems to be coming from the passenger side.(?)
It's not loud at all, and I can only hear it when I'm going 25mph or less, but yeah...there IS a little groan back there. Is this the sound that you guys have, too?

Have you tried lubircating all the joints with lithuim grease? That takes care of the clunks I get with mine at low speeds.

well, I fiddled around with my swaybar tonight, adjusting the sliders to a stiffer setting, and lubbed everything up and the noises got worse. They are loud and really annoying. I may try to go back to the stock bushings to see if that helps a little, if not out she comes.......

I'm getting the same little sounds but they really aren't very loud and I only hear them at low speeds. I put lithium grease ALL over the bushings but did not put any anywhere else. Maybe I will, but its not bugging me that much. Anyhow the performance difference is VERY much worth it.

Hey SedanMan,

How does your car drive in the winter?

I've been told that the rear gives way a lot easier when using a larger sway bar, on snow! Do you find that's true?

 

[SedanMan]

I couldn't tell you since I have only had the sway bar for a few months. I have never driven in winter with it. Although you might want to try PMing Negatize because he's had the bar for a while. I just don't know if he has snow where he lives.

LOL..No I haven't had a chance to try it out in the winter...Florida barely gets cold enough to snow.

It does make the rear end of the car stiffer, and I'm sure that would make the rear want to come around in the snow a lot easier.

ok so Im about to try and install the 21.5 ... can anyone tell me how to set up the endlinks with the right washers? And what if I dont have any grease?

 

[Familia323]

oh and which way are the endlinks the tightest ? to the strut or to the rear?
