Rear Sway Bar Only?

Scott

trust me, go RSB only. I have both the COBB FSB and RSB, and the FSB wont shut the **** up. It clunks and squeaks, and I've tried everything. Plus, it adds to the understeer.

What setting do you have your Cobb RSB set at? Bob

 

[ericrapp]

I have no clunking and the fsb really tightens the high speed steering response and straight braking. I have the Hotchkis and with the rear at the stiff setting. The car will come out very gently. Oversteer can be kinda tricky for some folks on the FF platform.
Might as well get the endlinks for fine tuning and doing any correcting for suspension adjustments, Brendan.

im a total noob and im half expecting to get flamed by this, but when you say RSB only, you mean replacing it with a Hotchkis or Cobb or what have you and keeping the FSB stock? or removing the FSB completely and having, literally, the RSB only?

Most people keep the FSB stock because it requires time experience and equipment to install. Not a DIY job for the average joe. So yeah, its easier to replace the RSB and leave the FSB stock. It would be plum crazy to not have an FSB on your MS3, stock or after market.

I'm going to be picking up a hotchkis RSB soon. Would it be better to leave it on the softer setting since I will have the stock FSB?

 

[ericrapp]

Whats nice is it will be very easy to switch back and forth till you find what you prefer. You probably will stay at the softer setting though.

you may find that TRZ to be an issue. I plan on writing a full review/comparison between the TRZ and CP-e

Why do you say that? Too much vibration? Many say it goes away after the break in period but others say it doesn't and it's too much for them. It's a very 50/50 split. I was undecided but I concluded to just go with the TRZ.. If it's too much I suppose I can sell it & get the CP-E..

I have the poly TRZ mount and love it. I think the vibrations are minimal after the break in period, and I actually like the vibes now.

that's good to hear, more re-assurance. Haha. I'm just super excited to get rid of this wheel hop, I've eliminated...I want to say a good amount (compared to before) with my new star specs on RX-8 wheels, having alot more contact surface so a RMM would just take care of the rest.

Well, I have Koni Sports all-around,Vogtland springs and a Tri-Point RSB. The car rides nicely(firm,not harsh), corners well and feels much tighter than stock. This MS3 should have come like this from the factory.
