LegacyDan Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I was considering upgrading from my stock jdm bars but im just curious are the likes of the Hotchkis or Whiteline ones a lot better than the jdm ones? If there is not a huge difference i was thinking of just new bushings front and rear and endlinks might tighten things up nicely instead and ALK and bump steer correction kit and leave the bars until last, if even. I think the jdm front bar is solid 22mm and rear bar is hollow 21mm if i remember correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08Legacy08 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hey Dan, not a direct answer but I have Perrin 24 f/r and they are completely overkill for a DD. I would consider the hotchkis setup if at all... just my .02 shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I did my sway bars first on stock end links. Then went with solid end links and noticed a nice improvement. I'd start with end links since you have a bigger rear sway from the factory. After that, fine-tune the balance of the car by maybe going 1-2mm bigger at either end. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Catalyst. Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 What Franz said - especially if you are looking at where to add the BS/RCK and ALK. I did springs, roll center/bump steer, steering rack, ALK first and am about to install sways and ELs. Huge improvement with the upgrades I did first, even without sways. Be interesting to see the changes when I install the Hotchkis bars and KB ELs. I expect a little oversteer and quicker weight transfer while keeping the car flatter in the corners with more lateral grip. My spec.B [#163] Project Thread with Pictures Get CryoTuned!
