Good luck, specially with stopping mods. I took this discussion years ago that I won’t mod anymore and that’s enough. You know what, I stopped. I stopped saying that and kept moving modified more aggressively! ![]() |

Thoughts? |

I would suggest going for Hotchiks, they are same as APR as they are the original producer of APR, same size 27mm and much cheaper.

Soooo....I put a new sway bar and end links on last Thursday and I’m really happy with them. I really need to adjust my driving and tire pressures because I spun twice on Sunday, but it’ll be good when I get it sorted. My problem is, when I finished my event on Sunday I had a rear end clunk, but only at very low speeds (under 30 mph) and on very slight left hand turns. It’s weird. I got it up and checked the torque on the sway bar and end links, made sure nothing was loose in the rear suspension, etc... but it’s almost like something is hitting the floorboard or body panels in the rear. Any suggestions?

I got the Neuspeed 28mm hollow RSB. I still have the stock fronts with all stock suspension. I went with the Neuspeed suggestion (similar to what 034 says) in that we don't need to change the FSB. I figure they have a lot more suspension experience than anyone here in the forum would. So I'll try it out. From this forum, I would supposedly get snap oversteer with this setup. I've *tried very hard* to coax this, but have not been successful. I even jam on the brakes while turning and still no snap oversteer. Maybe I'm not going fast enough? Do i need to turn off traction control? For folks who are curious, the stock RSB is 4 lbs. The Neuspeed 28mm hollow is 7 lbs. The extra stiffening brackets were 3 lbs. Thus, I gained 6 lbs in the upgrade process. No big deal. I just set the RSB into the "hard" setting. This setting is supposedly 268% increase over the stock 21.7mm bar. The "soft" setting is 202% increase over stock. I just noticed the clunk (rear passenger side) since setting it to hard. I will change it to soft to see if I can still hear the clunk. All bolts that I touched during the installation are tight and torqued. Any thoughts? |

But the noise seems to have come from the end link nut coming slightly loose. I tightened it and the noise went away. However, after a while it came back. I assume it loosened again (despite me torquing to spec). The bars were set to full stiffest. I will set them to soft and see if the nut loosens again. For the record, it seems that the only time that I was able to get the back end to swing around is when I turned off the traction control and *really* turned left (or right) really hard. I felt the outer rear tire come off the ground and come back down. I have all stock suspension except for the Neuspeed 28mm hollow rear sway bar. |

Torque Specs: Sway Bar to Subframe
I have searched throughout this forum and on Internet and I am getting differing numbers for the torque specs for the sway bar bracket bolts to sub frame.
Does anyone know the torque specs for these bolts? M8x75 |
