Voted for Swaybars, amazing bang for the buck upgrade... you won't regret it.

Voted for Swaybars. One thing Chad did so well was get the handling of his car down great, then worked on power. His engine is still technically "stock" and he keeps up with the much higher HP AI cars out there.

DSMLink gives you more power but the question is, are you able to put the power that you have down to the ground now?

Get sways and brake less FTW.

Thats what I say every day... I need to get my freakin car together so I can make jokes about your relative lack of power considering your number of valves and superior head flow design. :roll: :wink: Tongue

I say get the DSM link. You have AWD, so getting the power down is no issue...and who the fuck wants to make a DSM handle anyway!?!?! (I <3 DJ!)

i vote dsm link first and then save for a reaaal suspension. no sense in spending money and time putting together a so-so package that you plan on replacing. start with some coilovers (or koni yellows w/ gc perches if they make them for your car), work out your spring rates, and THEN add sway bars.

Actually since he already has a comfortable spring/shock combo for daily use, a sway bar would be the way to go to increase his handling capabilities without destroying the ride.....

And Justin, you should be over 300whp without dsmlink, but barely. S-AFC tuning sucks with all of our timing advance maps. With dsmlink, itll honestly do three components better, instead of just one with sway bars. Dsmlink will increase your reliability, power, and also decrease your autox times by shaving 1-2 seconds at the start with the launch feature.


You are right tho mike (if he wanted a track only car), if he really wanted a real suspension, he would get the sway bars and a Koni setup....

But the Konis do have a nasty effect of actually increasing the ride height, my car is higher in the air than with my stock shock/intrax combo.
