thats why they call it Real ***kin LOUD! (RFL) auuuurite!!!

yo, how do you like you f/r swaybars? i noticed you used different brands (cusco rear and whiteline front). is more neutral now? did you try just using the rear w/endlinks without the front? i'll soon be getting the cusco rsb (already got the cusco fsb. not installed) i want to know if i should slap them in the same time or try the rear first?

Too me it's not really a big deal mix-matching brands because I got a smokin' deal on the Whiteline FSB...traded for some PIAA H3 Bulbs...still in pretty good condition.

I did have the RSB with endlinks on for about 2 months before I put on the FSB. The RSB sure did give the car oversteer...lots of it if you set it for the highest setting.

When I put the front on it became neutral again with a tad bit of oversteer. I still have the RSB set on medium and if I set it to highest it will again have a lot of oversteer. BTW...the front makes a lot of noise no matter how much grease I used.

Technically, I like having both because it is that much more of a reduction in body sway. However, most guys feel that you only need the rear and the rear is really the one that makes the most difference.

So anyways, I say try the rear first because it is really easy to do and you can feel the oversteer. Then put on the front after like a couple weeks and notice the difference. At that point, you can see if you want to set the rear to the higher setting.
