Bolksey85 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Since AWD cars tend to push or understeer, with a 22F+R, you could probably set the front on soft and the rear on hard (oh, jesus) and have a car that's is damn close to neutral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialB Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 I've already bought my DP and access port from them. Maybe they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttlejockey Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Just go to the web site and do a live chat with them. That's what I did. They'll cut you a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Just installed my rear Perrin 22mm sway. I think I should do the front also. 22mm or 25? Don't want a harsh ride. You won't need the 25 unless you do track duty. It is not really noticible until you start pushing into a corner and no harshness increase. I love mine. In fact, you rode in my car.....it corners flat when you push hard. FYI, John is all set, this Fri we fix his CEL and do the 60. He almost bought an Autozone O2 .

Front bar should be here Tuesday. Can't wait to get the front on. Thanks for getting back to John. I told him it was probably an O2 sensor.

SureGrap Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 a lot of good info in here...I was just wondering the same thing today as I'm beginning to get tired of the car's floaty feeling compared to my old RS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhook Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 22mm F + R (Perrin), with stock links. I regret not going 25mm every day. Part of your problem is the stock links, Perrin links for example will tighten it up a bit. With that said, I'm running Perrin 22mm F+R w/endlinks and still wish I went 25 up front. My 22 is currently set to the stiff setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 22 is currently set to the stiff setting. 25mm may be too much for winters up here - not enough compliance. The local Impreza guys unhook or remove their rear bars for the winter. I agree, aftermarket endlinks, particularly the bushing style vs the spherical bearing, should tighten things up a bit. My MSI endlinks came with two different sets of polyurethane bushings with different durometers (applicable to bushings?). Anyhow, two sets with different hardness. I'm running the harder motorsport bushings to keep things as tight as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugo L. Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Are they on the stiffest setting? Both, and there's still way too much lean. I don't care about compliance for winter. I would simply revert to the softest setting for winter. I swap my suspension out every fall/spring anyway. One set for summer, one set for winter. It's so easy anyway.

Woodstock Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 speaking of neutral, do 22mm rear and 25mm front make a difference vs 22 f+r? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolksey85 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 25F means a little more understeer, kinda similar to how the car feels stock. 22F+R makes it a bit more neutral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolksey85 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Killer! Just got my 22F+R Perrin bars from Beans this afternoon. Wait a week or so for funds to replenish and they should be on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckJAI Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I got whiteline rear sway, but the seller told me they were 3way and that is why I got them. (they are not 3way, i was mis-informed) I'm looking at Perrin now, but the vendor I purchased my whiteline said they make garbage suspension and would not trust that brand. I really want a stiff rear sway bar as I like getting the car sideways, I come from the realm of 240sx and love drifting. Should I stick with my whiteline rear sway or Perrin? I will be using Group-A endlinks. I plan on keeping the front sway stock, maybe upgrade the endlinks. I want oversteer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsme Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I have whitelines F&R adj. and I like them. I would say what ever you do get adjustable bars so you can tune the car to how you like.

CDN 2.5i Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Does the bar have two holes at each end? If so, it's got 3 settings.

Regularly drifting it will destroy the center diff. With that said, I have all Perrin sways+endlinks and they've performed+held up well so far.

duckJAI Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I don't plan to drift with the legacy, but get some rotation around corners when I want to get a bit sideways for fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN 2.5i Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 ^^ What are the 3 settings? Disconnecting the swaybar, hole 1 and hole 2? Hole 1 and hole 2 will be firm or soft depending... eg both endlinks on hole 1 will be full firm, both on hole 2 will be full soft, and then using one of each on either end and crossing the connection will give you the third 'medium' setting. A 3 hole swaybar will give up to 5 settings. The Perrin website has some good information - http://www.perrinperformance.com/products/show/318/Sway-Bar-Rear-25MM- the Features tab explains the different settings.
