H&R is top of the line.I'm Not Right in the Head | Random Rants and other Nonsense1st Order Logic Failure: Association fallacy, this type of fallacy can be expressed as (∃x ∈ S : φ(x)) → (∀x ∈ S : φ(x)), meaning "if there exists any x in the set S so that a property φ is true for x, then for all x in S the property φ must be true".

An IE 22/19mm sway bar kit is very well matched to H&R Race springs and Bilstein Sport shocks. I personally think that the rear sway mounts on the IE kit is better than the ST. UUC now has a similar kit, but I've not see one and can't comment on how it compares.
I have a friend that has played around with different sway bars on a Spec E30 (H&R Race springs and Bilstein Sports). So far nothing is markedly better.
It will be necessary to reinforce the pick up points on the rear trailing arms. And that needs to be more than just welding in flat triangular plates. Something along the lines of the reinforcements that Turner sells is a much better solution.The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

Every week for the last 3 weeks has been, "It will ship by Friday at the latest."

I think he is getting at "response" to steering inputs by reducing body roll vs. literally changing the steering ratio.Need parts now? Need them cheap? steve@blunttech.com

I'm running M3 bars and those are actually stiff enough for me. With the ground controls, its really about as stiff as I want to get in the rear before I lose the ability to put down power coming out of corners at autox. Cheap and easy way to stiffen up the front is to buy M3 swaybar tabs for the front from AKG motorsport BTW.

On a spece30, what are the main benefits of the swaybars? I have a spece30 set up car, minus the swaybars, and am just wondering if I can justify the expense while I'm still just doing TT's. I've heard everything from better front tire wear to better understeer/oversteer control to better roll control, I'm just wondering what really happens when you put them on an e30 with H&R race/bilsteins and camber plates as the only major suspension mods.
