Drift SE-R - mpg9999 - 02-24-2005
Just in time for this weekends autocross, I installed my adjustable progress rear sway bar

Right now I have it on the middle setting. Hopefully I can handle the oversteer at this autocross. I wouldnt be surprised if I spin out. I wouldnt be surprised if I spin out on every single run... Although hopefully, I will be faster then before and place pretty well, but we'll see.
The install wasnt too bad. You can't fit a wrench in these stupid L brackets so you have to jam a screw driver in it, which subsequently gets stuck. I had to use washers to shim the hiem joints so they wouldnt bind. I new this ahead of time so I had about 15 3/8" washers from home depot.
Shimmed hiem joints:

And here is a picture I took tonight of me pulling into the driveway. That wheel is pretty far off the ground if you can't tell because of the lighting.

One stiff sway bar. Someone better get some shots of me three wheeling this weekend.

Just be smoother on turn in and trailing throttle and you'll be ok. Might have to adjust a little bit more if you're a left foot braker.

nice man. question though.....why did the original bar have that weird kink on the right side? couldn't they have just made it straight like the aftermarket bar?

It's to clear the stock exhaust. The kink goes up, and then has a wide arc downwards. 240 stock bars have it too. It is teh ghey.
Also, did you really put a jackstand on the knuckle like this, or does it just look that way?

Yup, thats to clear the exhaust. And yes, I really put the jack stands on the knuckle like that. The suspension needed to be under load, just as if it were on the ground. That was the easiest way for me to do it.

Looks scary, but at least you had a reason to do it.
