Perrin. I don't recall the thickness though. I was racing autocross at the time with hard as fuck Stance coils. Definitely slipperier than before I put it on though.

Very happy with the front sway bar

16mm Hole #3 116%






What bar did you install that made it slipperier feeling?




My goal is to have my car feel: more connected, planted, stiffer, yet still not harsh, and a bit more technical to drive.
















And if anyone notices that I have 2 sets of front endlinks... I was told by the vendor, that THESE FA coils 100% did not come with them. (even though front endlinks are pictured on the FA's website) So, I ordered whiteline front to match the rear endlinks. Now I have two sets....

The FA's have 6k front 7k rear, probably softer than the stance you were running.


Also, sort of off topic. But they shipped my rear bar with my front bar's tracking number. And I didn't receive a front bar. So I sent pics, and asked them to send me a front bar. They just sent me notification that my "rear bar" was being sent out. I sure hope it's a front bar!!! Other wise I'll have two 16mm rear bars!

It was the damper that was stiff. I had either 5k/6k or 6k/7k for my stance and then my Fortune 500s. I still want happy with it so I moved the front spring to the back and got 9k springs for the front. The heavier front springs helped considerably with unwanted drifting

Washed the bugs off from traveling to Ocean Isle Beach and back last week...and polished the front headlight lenses with scratch remover then Turtlewax Hardshell...tops were getting foggy...


Took the Brother-in-law to the airport...metermaid came up and asked "Is that your car?" After giving the affirmative asked her if she knew what it was...she didn't, but, thought it was a "sweet looking car"

OK, Leonardo - enough is enough -

You do NOT need TWO of every perty, shiny aftermarket piece that will fit your car!

I was assured by the vendor that this set did not come with them. I should have known better. The manufacture supplies a set for the front with the 500 series coils.

Wow! Nice! It's hard to find any '89 in excellent condition... Not to mention, the one you want! Amazing!

Not today, but did few things. My front right (passenger) brake caliper ceased on me, so thought to change things up by changing to Subaru 4 pistons calipers. I wouldn’t call it performance upgrade, but it’s a visual upgrade. Thanks to KNS Brakes for all the support and info.


It fit Enkei Raijin (18x8 +35) without an issue, of course.


If looks pretty nice... I think



I do use stock wheels for winter tires... but I’ve read that, it doesn’t fit, so I’ve bought different wheels. Went with Enkei again, I just love Enkei. Big thanks to @OAKOS Automotive for good deal again. I highly recommend them to anyone. I've bought from them so many times. PLUS my wife and my wife's sister bought from them, cuz they had a great deal.


Got myself Enkei VR5 in 17x8 +45. I wish they made it in +35 or +32 offset, but o’well still looks nice.


It does clear the calipers without an issue. Prob have 1”~2” in space.

Today I wet sanded my tail lights and cleared them with Spray Max 2K. After the paint cures for a few days I'll wet sand them again and polish them.

I also ordered 86 Speed V2 hood struts, Rexpeed convex heated mirrors, and a few other things because I felt like spending money.

Attach it to the back of your seat. Then it can literally punch you in the back.
