rubber end links?
A question for @Captain Snooze. I hadn't realized how much swaybar crosstalk is screwing up my ride until I read this thread. The question is, "What do you think of replacing the heim-joint swaybar end links with end links that have metal-sleeved rubber donuts on each end? (see picture)
The rubber end links will have some flex for small bumps and vibrations, but still provide some sway prevention. The struts won't have to work so hard to control the extra spring pressure of the 21MM OEM front swaybar. I could use the rubber end links for the street, and the heim-joint end links for the track. |

Well @captain_snooze, I tried my end links and they didn't help much. Yesterday I removed my front sway bar and installed my Bilstein HD's. They have BRZ front springs, (27 N/mm (153 lbs/in)), and FR-S rear springs, (37 N/mm (211 lbs/in)27.75(158.45 lbs/in)). The ride is better without a front sway bar. The last time I had these struts on my car, I found them to be intolerably stiff. Since they aren't adjustable, they make the perfect test struts for testing the effect of sway bar removal. Later today I'll remove the rear sway bar and try that out as well. I'm beginning to think that all a person needs to do to make these cars ride better on the street, is to just remove the sway bars. I'll know more after removing the rear sway bar as well. Thank you @captain_snooze for pointing me in the right direction.

Do you still like your AST ?
I just found they are in Nerderland, which put them on my list. That plus digressive valving and we have a JRZ RS Pro challenger. I was considering Nitron too. |
