I put the Whiteline 20mm adjustable with adjustable end links on about a week and a half ago. Haven't done any events yet, but daily driving it seems really good.

40 - 36 = 4

4 x 4 = 16lbs savings

When I weighed my stock wheels and tires on this scale they were about 42 lbs. maybe it reads a little high. Theoretically my wheel and tire combo is supposed to be around 34 lbs.

Oh ok.

TireRack has OEM tires listed at 20lbs.

Better scale than mine.

I'm guessing that "extra" weight comes from the TPMS sensor and the wheel balancing weights.

I'm under the assumption that the OEM rims are 20.1 lbs and the OEM tires are 20 lbs.

MCS. I was working with another shop but the MCS setup was cheaper and they are local. Should have them in a few weeks.

Pretty much the same thing I got when I weighed mine..

Same here it's a nice setup. I will continue to use the endlinks even if I go with the Strano bar. Do you know the exact stiffness of the 20mm in both positions? I found some specs for the 22 but not the 20.

The 74% I used for the Cusco bar was off their catalog.

No. I'd be interested to know as well. I'm currently on the softest setting.

I'm running the Hotchkis (couldn't wait for Sam's and wanted to get a front sway in place) massive 25.4mm front sway on the soft setting with their adjustable endlinks. Feels good so far, but have only had one event on it so the jury is still out as to whether or not its too much bar.

http://www.hotchkis.net/scion-frs-fr...-sway-bar.html

I have to say I am very impressed with the build quality. The sway has welded shaft collars to keep the bar centered and the mounting brackets have zerk fittings to make reapplying grease possible without dismounting the bar.

So far, I am very pleased after 1 event. The car handles the transitions much better now. Nut behind the wheel still needs tightening, though...LOL!

[xwd]

Yeah I've never heard anything bad about the Hotchkis bars, nice to see they have the Zerk fittings, was one nice thing about some of the Cobb swaybars.

That bar is about 2X the stiffness of the Strano bar even on its lowest setting, it will be interesting to see how the bigger bars play out. I'm mainly going off Sam's feedback and where he felt the bar should be, and I definitely respect his opinion.

[cityhugo]

Ur transition might feel great but ur sweeper stuff is going to suffer big time with that bar. u do have some control with the driving style to get some of those sweeper speed back. At the end is all about balance...
