best swaybar choice?

Much better control through transitions, but seems to give the car more of a tail-out attitude. For me, most of teh gain comes from ingreased roll control at the front so camber is more controlled, thus resulting in less scrub. I havn't done much high-speed driving on that car though; just autox as it isn't mine. :)

I'm waiting on my UUC kit to show up now.

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

It's really a pisser when someone on here already has their set.

Sounds like another UUC pissed off customer, boy their customer service sucks.

They did ship on Friday, was never "pissed" just frustrated. But it's not unheard of for a brand new product to end up being delayed a bit.

anybody have anything to say about the IE 25mm/22mm is thicker better?

^^For tighter feel and harder driving, thicker is better.

That's such a broad generalization based on no factual evidence.

Larger sways might be better, if the spring rates are high enough. We've played around with thicker bars on a Spec E30 (H&R Race springs) and found no improvement over the more normal 22/19mm sways. I think the results would have been different with higher rate springs.

How would you compare those swaybars to stock on H&R races? I'm still running stock sways and am debating if it's worth the investment.

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.

Thinking of going this route myself. Are you using an M3 rear sway also? Did you reinforce the rear mounts and if so, with what product?
