Can you elaborate why? Also, do you plan to re-align the car after each change? That can get expensive quickly...

The reason I'm asking about the Tein EnduraPros is it seems odd that they've hardly been mentioned on this forum as far as my searches go. Is anything other than top line frowned upon? For the cost of a set of B6s I could buy a set of EnduraPros and a nice set of springs. |

Are you going to use the stock springs on the WRX? I expect you'll like the EnduraPros. |

Standard height springs seems to be a taboo subject around BRZ land. I'm thinking of using tender springs in cases when I want to add height.

The CSG FLA is being updated for the 2022+ chassis, as the fitment and geometry is actually a bit different from the 13-20, even though the fitments can be interchanged. |

There's a question that bugs me, and I can't find an answer: is the sway bar angle important? AKA if I lower my car, do I need adjustable endlinks, or are they just needed to reduced preload?

In an extreme case where the "effective"* arms of the bar are parallel to the end links, the end links can't turn the bar. If I understand correctly, ideally you want the end links to be at a 90º angle to the "effective" arms of the bar when the car is at ride height (which implies the driver weight in the driver's seat). Whenever the degree is not 90º, you need to factor in the sine of the angle to calculate the effective leverage of the bar, and leverage affects effective stiffness. Granted, +/- 10º probably don't matter that much, as the value of the sine function is close to 1 in that range. I believe in practice 90º is not possible on our cars in the rear. It might also be an interesting way to tune the handling of the car so that different bars have different effective stiffness depending on the dynamic ride height, e.g. speed/downforce in a car with a lot of aero, or whether the car is accelerating/decelerating (which causes squat/dive). But this sounds more like an F1 trick, than something that would be useful for a grassroots time attack car Another thing to think about is clearance. If the front end links are too long, the ends of the arms can start hitting the LCA. * — by "effective" I mean the imaginary line between the hole used to attach the end link to the bar, and the axis of rotation of the bar. The actual arms of a bar can be of any different shape (e.g. our OEM front bar has a bit of a J shape to it) and looking at just that shape can be misleading. |

I have to run greater than 90 or the tips of my adjustable swaybar contact the bottom of the body.
