:gapteeth: Hey guys!
So I just received my racingline rear sway bar today. I'm very excited to install it, but I have a few questions for those who already have this and the other suspension mods offered by racingline.
1) should I get the end links before installing the rsb? And will the oem endlinks handle hard cornering if I don't em?
2) is it advisable to install the front strut bar as well, or am I good with just the rear bar?
And 3) how do you adjust the sway bar? I only see two holes on each end.
Thanks in advance to you guys.

Sweet man. i installed mine about a month ago without the RL endlinks. I have not had any problems so far, I do have mine on the "soft' setting though. I am hesitant about setting it to the "hard" setting because I do not want the stock endlinks to potentionally bend of break. I have not heard of anything linke that happening, but dont want to risk it. To adjust it the two holes on the end, the one on the end is the soft and the next one over is the hard. I also do not have the strut bar but that is next on the long list. So IMO you dont need it BUT... It will make your car handle better which is what you are shooting for, so spend the extra $134 for it.

1) you don't need em, but i recommend you get them, they'll improve your handling
2) front strut bar isn't needed, but again it's good to get to improve the handling even more, but the rear sway bar works fine without it
3) 2 settings, outer holes or inner holes. the soft setting is if you attach the rsb using the two outer holes, the hard setting is if you use the holes closer to the centre. i've got mine on the hard setting :gapteeth:

Hey guys. Thanks for the feedback. So I installed it this past weekend, and I have it on the soft setting. Idk if it's because I'm dropped on coils, but I don't really feel a difference. Should I move it to the hard setting?

I most definitely will get it next. Its a 2.5 w/ cvt. Can't really add power so I'll make it handle better.

if you love performance in the TWISTYS, get the endlinks and front strut tower bar!
if you love STRAIGHT LINE performance (ie Track) you dont need them!
