Tein Basics w/ trd swaybar
#5
if i was going to make the tC a track car i would get a stiffer sway bar than the trd. But that would only be beneficial if you had very sticky tires to go along with that. But for slightly spirited driving this set up would be more than enough. But On very rough roads i feel that the spring rate is too stiff. But if you soften you shock settings it is much more managable. Just don't slam the teins all the way down if you want to get the best performance.

nicely put -NEMESIS- - but I had my TC on Hotchkis front and rear sways, and they did not affect the ride much until you started turning and noticed how flat the car was through the corners. What the sway bar will do though, is transfer the force from one shock to the other, so instead of hitting a bump on the left side and the left side only absorbing the bump, the right side will as well since the sway's job is to transfer the force as evenly as possible across both sides of the suspension.
When I went back to stock after using the hotchkis, the first thing I noticed was the body roll. the second thing I noticed was what I mentioned about bumps now being independent to the side the bump was on, which did make the ride a bit smoother, but nowhere near worth the trade off for superb handling characteristics
