im am sorry, your pm box

that looks pretty good. what endlinks are you using?

 

team... how would you compare these to the agency adjustable... what suspension are you coupling with these (the koni's right, i know you have told me i can't remember)... have you thought about making your own end links?

 

edited, see post below

yes, I am planning to assemble my own adjustable endlink design

I have custom Koni 2812 DA monotube coilovers, this is a hardcore competition setup not the common street shocks

 

EDIT: I haven't looked the AP parts in a while, it appears that they're identical to PT bars so I'm assuming PT is now building them for AP/Vivid. I don't have any info on AP's wall thickness

 

Installed the bars last night. The front bar was the usual PITA to remove/install. The instructions suggested a different front bar installation method than I normally use, to drop the engine undercover and remove the lower radiator mounting brackets. I didn't feel up to trying it that way though.

I set the rear bar to the soft setting and the front bar on the full stiff setting. Car is very responsive and so flat in the turns, yet glued to the pavement for as fast as I cared to push it on the curbed streets. Turns in fantastic and seems neutral so far ...

So far, me likey

 

why is it everytime i read a post by you it cost me money..

btw, thanks for the review.. when is the next auto x

Took her out and really hammered on it yesterday. Car is still a bit loose power exiting the turns, but very controllable. No surprise really, the engine output is up everywhere and she really sings even at 4500 ft elevation

I'm comfortable enough now to recommend the swaybars.

 

is that with the lsd installed or is that yet to come?

 

that's still to come, it's going to be several weeks - month before I can get to it unless I hire it out. I was just quoted $375 if I drop the diff and bring it all to them. I'm thinking I can do it in place without dropping the diff though. It's just a matter of finding the time.

 

nice...I've been looking for a set. Now thanks to team he test muled it for me!

 

lol, give yourself the big, stiff shaft, you'll like it ...

 

i'm very interested to see what sort of impact the LSD will make. when a friend installed a 2-way LSD on his e30 m3 it totally transformed the car. he went from competitive in STX to pretty damn dominant.

 

I chose 1.5-way because I was afraid the car would be too loose on corner entry, it can be changed to 2-way if I decide otherwise

 

if the description of the AP sways can be trusted on agency-power.com, both are solid.
AP front sway bar
AP rear sway bar

 

hey team, what diameter stud do the PT sway bar ends accept? the AP sways fit the OEM sway bar endlinks (10mm). RB's studs are 12mm.

 

heh, to answer my question... just called PT and joey (inside sales, CSR) says the sway bar ends are 10mm like stock. he also said the PT sways are indeed in stock at this time; the website just doesn't reflect current stock.

 

Nice find & review...went ahead and ordered me a set...Have you been able to test them out on the track or Autox them yet Team?

 

no, I've been entirely focused on getting our Stock RX-8 ready for the season first, plus configuring a new trailer, plus a 70 hr work week, plus trying to move and sell a house halfway across the US

I did get the diff over to the driveline shop and Kaaz just called and said the WPC clutch plate conversion was complete on the new LSD, so that will be done soon

 

Thanks for the reviews on the Progress rear sway bar. I ordered mine last week and they came in a couple days later. I installed it this afternoon and I love it.

The install was very easy. I have it set to the tightest setting but now I feel like I should change the front too. I can't believe how weak the factory bar and bushings are.

 

using the Progress rear bar with the OE front bar is asking for an accident, especially in slippery conditions

 

Maybe some greased bushings from Energy Suspension is needed? I've beat my front Mazdaspeed setup to death, squeaks like crazy lately from the 10kg front Zeal springs. I need grease!

 

where is the cheapest place to order the Progress front and rear swaybars, i thought someone posted one time saying someone had free shipping on them.

i search on google sent me to the site autosportstyle.com who has the progress technology swaybars front and rear for 268.86, what do you guys think......i tried calling them and was not able to talk to anyone, this is an awsome price i just dont wana loose my money
