I got the Serpentine Belt and Racingline Rear Sway Bar installed and figured I should change the In-Cabin Filter.

After 90k/km this is what it looks like...

Not sure what it exactly does but I didn't notice any difference

The Sway Bar on the other hand, as soon as I pulled away from the shop I felt the immediately felt the difference. I spent over an hour pushing her, testing it and I can't believe I waited this long.

The cabin air filter is just there to keep all the nasty junk from entering the inside of the car. Judging by the picture, it definitely did its job. Just think, you could have been breathing all that in. You probably don't notice a difference, but perhaps someone with breathing problems or a dusty environment might.

Just ordered the swaybar myself. Can't believe I've waited this long either! I had the Stillen on my previous Coupe and was happy with it. This one looks much better.

I had the exact same thoughts on my stillen rsb I just got installed. Had it for over a year sitting in the garage. The difference is night and day in the twisties.

I literally just got mine yesterday, planning to install this weekend as long as weather is nice. What setting did you put yours at?

I ask Bruno/Shop and he said unless I Track my car the outer setting should be more than enough.

I ask here but never got a response, is Bruno right? He also said I can drop by and change it but right I don't see the point.

Yea i'm planning on doing the outside setting to. Thats what i would guess since like u said i also don't track my car. But it is pretty easy to change if need be.
