H&R Sway Bars

Any opinions on these? I hear some people just do the rears.

I'm pretty happy with my Pss9s and custom alignment. Is this a worthwhile upgrade?

I will let you know as soon as I break in my Gaurd LSD (500 mile break in)
I have PSS9"s and just installed the H&R rear sway bar over the GT3 bar.
From what I have read on the posts, the rear is the way to go. Using the
center hole on the sway bar adjustment. I am told the damper setting can
be reduced to improve the ride and still increase the cornering. The H&R
is also supposed to reduce understeering. We shal see soon!

I have them and ran them in conjunction with H&R springs. Helped control the car and keep it flat. Ran them in the soft setting. It was an upgrade over stock bars and fitment was top notch. They are significantly more "beefy" than the stock noodle swaybars.

I run them now with Motons and love the suspension. I think they are a worthwhile upgrade. They keep the car just flat enough to make nice controlled slides

Dan at Vivid encouraged me to get just the rear H&R swaybar with my purchase of the JIC c/o system.

I have them front and rear with my jic set up. I love them If you buy the front use it on the middle setting and the rear on middle also. Seemed to work well for me.

the GT3 rear is all you need. OEM motorsport part cheaper and hollow. The H+R bar is ok as well and anything is better than stock.

Actually the jic is getting installed next week with the H&R swaybar and B&M short shifter. I'll certainly post back after driving it. I don't think I have heard even one negative comment about them.

Rear only H&R from Sharkey or Dan @ Vivid.

I did my rear only with my Cross JIC and it improved turn-in.
Tends to oversteer at limit better also.

The downside to JIC is it tends to ride rough. I have mine set on Middle
position front and rear and it reminds me of the wild west when I go over
bumps (But man does it handle on the track!!!
I need to try softest setting for the street, I heard that works well.
