tC6M

Hey guys I'm new. I have a 2012 tC 6spd which is really my wife's car but I drive it a lot. It currently has a cold air intake but I'm wondering if there's something I can add to reduce body roll a little without lowering it since my wife doesn't want it lowered yet (working on it tho). Can I do sway bars or strut bar to help with body roll? Thanks

Sway bars will flatten everything out pretty well.

Tanabe makes a front strut bar and chassis brace for the TC. Maybe try that?

Thanks. Are sway bars easy to install on the tC? Are there stock ones on there? (I never checked)

It should be fairly straight forward. Maybe look at the FSM (Factory Service Manual) if you have one?

Will have a front and rear sway bar.

Ease depends on your mechanical ability. I haven't looked closely at the front, but the rear should be pretty easy to do. However, don't just do the rear, otherwise you'll gain a bit of over steer.

And if you do just the front, it'll start to under steer. Best to do both.

Front may require unbolting the back half of the engine cradle in order to remove it.

For the Front, at least for manual transmissions, you only have to unbolt the drivers side lower control arm and swing it out of the way to install the swaybar. It still takes some work to get it in place, but still a lot less work and worry than messing with subframe bolts.

Thanks. We've actually just decided to sell the tC so it doesn't look like I'll be doing anything else to it now. If anyone's interested it's a 2012 6M 36k miles tinted cold air intake led lighting. Asking $15k obo. Located near Philly pa.
