I think this has been covered before in a topic, but I searched and couldnt find the topic.

At any rate, what settings would you guys suggest for the bar, I also have trd springs and shocks/struts if that matters.

I remember reading sport was a better setting, but I wanted to make sure I was remembering right. Thanks

 

I have mine on the race or track setting, and all is good. I can't see where the street setting would do much good.

 

Race setting all the time

 

"I also have trd springs and shocks/struts if that matters."

I have asked this question before but no one answered. Are shocks the same thing as struts?

 

This has been covered before. Check out the post Here
As far as I am concerned, I would put it on the race setting. Inner most hole. Perfect in terms of performance. Improves the cars handling just enough. I am a daily driver and couldn't image going any other way.[/url]

 

Track setting on a daily driver here ... and even thats a lil weak for my taste.


No, they're different but they both do the samething - dampen the spring movement.

 

So if you don't want yr shocks/struts to blow out when getting TRD springs should I get the entire spring, shocks and struts at the same time>?

 

I have run trd springs on stock struts for about 19,000 miles now with no issue. The TRDs arent as agressive a change as some other springs are and should be ok on the stock struts. While used interchangeably (incorrectly) a shock and strut differ from one another. A shock dampens suspension movement like a strut. However, a strut is part of the suspension geometry and structure. For example, the strut has mounts for the spring and also serves a structural purpose for the suspension (on the front you can see this in that it affects alignment and supports the spring). If you remove a strut, you have removed part of the suspensions structural parts. If you remove a shock, you can still drive around in most cases.. but your car will feel like it is mounted on flubber :D

 

I'm running Tein S Techs on factory shocks and struts with no problems.

 

race/tracking setting, street setting you might as well have saved your money and not bought the bar at all

 

^^^ agreed

 

Alright, thanks guys, that what I thought.

I'm getting it all installed tomorrow and ill make sure it gets set right.

 

not doing the install yourself?

 

na, the dealer had all my parts cause I bought them when I bought the car cause I didnt know of the better prices I could get elsewhere, like this site; so they installed it for me.

But me in my absolute genious forgot to take the sway bar up with me for them to install

I live 2 hours away so when the guy asked if I was going to go home and get them I just laughed.

I've read its an easy install but I need some info on it.

I know where the bar is and the 4 spots that it connects, the 2 nuts on each side and where the 2 rings are on the bar.

However, is there anything special I need to make sure about, like if I put the car up on ramps is there anything special I need to know about removing any of the parts. Also, what would I use, ramps or jacks, does the rear suspension need to be non-load bearing when I take off the bar (like with jacks) or load bearing (with ramps). Thanks for any help you can give.


BTW, I'm loving the TRD springs, the drop is just enough, I didnt want to go super agressive and this fit perfectly.

 

i installed my sway.. and started a poll on the settings way back.. it really an easy install... had it set on track..no difference in ride quality IMO

I knew there was someone who had made a topic about this, I read it a while ago but couldnt find it again.

 

hehe.. yup t'was me..

 

so anybody got an answer for the jack vs. ramp thing?

 

Race of course, no point for street. Even for daily use. I have the Progress rear sway and I have it on the stiffest setting.

 

Is the inner hole the race setting or is it the outer hole? I'm confuszed, cause I feel a little difference and I thought it was gonna be like chocolate and $h1t. But I haven't felt too much of a difference.
