did you mean stock front and reat ST bar? or complete the package with bot st front and rear? just some clarification please =]

 

I meant get the ST rear and add it to the existing setup with the ST front in place. I ran around for a couple years with RB front and rear bars and was fairly happy with the handling, although I would have prefered it to be a bit less understeery, but I think the ST front and rear setup is more rear biased from what I remember.

 

I am thinking of pulling off my RB front bar and trying the biggest stock bar available on my NA. My car has a bit of a push.

Which version of the FC had the biggest front bar?

Sorry to hijack, but that is probably good info for this thread anyway,

 

i think the turbos did

 

Just to make certain about what was stated above.

When you mention stock front is that just a not so brand name front strut?
Like if it were the regular mazdatrix bar for 188$?

 

im talking about sway bars not strut bars. but the front stock sway bar thickness that i wrote is the s4 na thickness

 

Great!

Maybe I just need the ST rear bar.

 

i think you mightve understood me wrong.

but if not disregard...but the stock s4 front sway bar is not the thickest of all the models. I am certain the turbos are bigger and am not sure if theres a difference but the s5 t2s and gtus are similar in thickness. i just dont know the numbers. But im pretty sure i ran into it when i was searching sway bar thickness on the forums.

 

No, I understand what you mean. I have RB bars fron and rear and have a slight push. If I can get it out with air pressure, the slightly larger rear ST bar might help me. I never realized the ST rear bar was bigger than the RB.

Before I read that I was thinking I would go to a turbo 2 front (or whatever was the biggest OEM FC bar).

 

im experimenting right now with removing both the front and rear sway bars. i will have decently stiff springs and shocks though. not track stiff, but not so comfy on the street stiff either.

did some research. its been done by a few on here. and a few people at tracks. no one i spoke to (or read up on) had anything negative to say about it.
