The bigger front bar and installation of the rear bar turn my ute from a walloy pig into a car thats very nimble and nice to drive.

The key word being "Balance". Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/39793-sway-bars/page/2/#findComment-596829 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can actually put power down in corners now and not break traction as soon as i have any more the 2 to 3 psi on of boost on tap.

These cars where really never designed to be race cars they are family movers ... so we have to be realistic about our expectations on handling mods.

dule Donating Members 1,180 Member For: 18y 24d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 16/11/07 07:02 PM Share Posted 16/11/07 07:02 PM The T generaly feels OK in corners (by my standards) but the problem is when you hook it from left to right, or the other way. It needs few moments to get up straight and then lean to the other side and then it's OK again. It's only lasts a second or so but it gets fu*cking scary sometimes especially in traffic and this is where sway bars should help, I hope they do anyway, I'll see in few weeks.

JP300 Donating Members 842 Member For: 19y 7m 27d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 16/11/07 09:07 PM Share Posted 16/11/07 09:07 PM I'd be happy to give the guys from Sydney a drive of my car so that you can feel the Tein setup. It's very streetable yet you can put the power down in a straight line and is a major improvement around corners.Tunehouse has spent quite a bit of time on the setup and I think it is a good overall package. It's not just about installing the Tein springs and shocks but also the actual setup, corner weights & heights, wheel alignment etc... I was lucky enough to drive BCL's (monster F6) car recently and it has the same Tein setup as mine but without the sway bars. The car feels very neutral on the road and is very well behaved under power.
