I just emailed Jim about interior pieces. Is he still wrapping them?

 

Yep, he's still working on them! I'm still waiting to get a few development pieces back, but he's definitely still doing the CF wraps. This weekend I'll get some good pictures and make a stand-alone thread with a proper write-up.

 

He replied to me and gave me pricing on ths pieces. I won't post them here though as I'm not sure if the prices he gave were his official pricing. He said he's busy for the next couple weeks, so he's not taking new orders just yet but that he'd let me know. Best bet is to email him and show your interest.

 

Thanks for updating us!

 

Suspension upgrades, coming soon! Just in time for the last AutoX race until July!

 

what kind? I've been trying to find some coils that can be used for racing. So far all I have is Tein, KW, and maybe std. The rest are really just slam and slow.

unless you meant sways, lol.

 

I'm talking sways. Eibach finally released the rear sway!

And I'm going to swap to TRD springs, but not sure of that'll happen by next weekend though.

 

Santa came early this year and driving an RS 7.0 tC2! Thanks for delivering this today.

So Eibach finally released their rear sway bar for the tC2 and thanks to some good timing and a trip to Cali by a friend, I managed to get one installed already! For now, I'll just give you all an overview of the product. A better review will happen after next Sunday's race.

Brace itself is a beast. Noticeably thicker than the stock one and clearly ready to take some abuse. Installation was straight forward. Only thing I would suggest is unbolting your exhaust before trying to remove/replace the bar. It goes from being nearly impossible to swap to rather easy.

Here are some pictures and as I said, I'll do a full review next week when I get some actual track time with the sway on. I'm excited!!!

 

Looks thicker than the TRD SB I have! Nice.

 

yeah i called them 3 weeks ago and they said they had the rear ready to ship but no ETA on the front which was the one i wanted

 

Santa says no prob haha twas great. My quick review:
Bar is thicker than trd and much thicker than stock very beefy and strong well built. I installed the first one on mine yesterday evening while at tb and then put it to the test in an aggressive mountain canyon run of twisties and sweepers. Noticable difference tons of grip control and less roll felt very good. Lets def race test them! Enjoy!

 

looks good. i bet you can bolt it to the top of the door in your room and then do pull ups

 

Yuriy, why do you want a front bar?

 

2 would be nice but I could only afford 1.
I need to flatten out the front end because I rub during hard corners

 

I hear ya there. With the new tires, my upgraded brake pads are actually doing their thing and now I rub my front wheels during hard turns as well... I'm hoping switching to TRD springs from the H-techs will help, but for now, my front spacers are coming off.

But anyway, my point is, I'm not sure a larger front sway will really help you. It'll flatten the front of your car, but you're going to increase your understeer.

 

Isn't the front sway supposed to be adjustable? then you'd be able to make it less stiff to help with under steer?

I don't know if that's right, but less roll sounds like a good thing

 

Less roll is a good thing, but sways are kinda weird. You want a bigger rear sway on a FWD car because a rear sway helps reduce understeer, where you want a bigger front sway on RWD cars because it reduces oversteer.

I didn't make it very clear, but in our cars, we want a bigger rear sway and if Yuriy upgraded only the front bar, the front would be larger than the rear.

 

MightyP. Is the rear 3 way adjustable? It doesn't appear to be, looking at that picture. If so what setting are you running? Thanks,

 

Ah okay that makes sense!

I agree only getting the front sway bar wouldn't be beneficial, so it would make sense to get either just the rear or both

did you buy just the rear to stay in HS for autox?

 

No. Eibach rear sway isn't adjustable. It's just one, rather large, piece o' metal.

And I do just have the rear sway but that's only because Eibach hasn't released the front yet. I'm racing in STF, so I can do pretty much anything to my suspension. TRD sways are great, but I wanted the bigger rear sway Eibach has, so I'll just wait until they release their front sway to upgrade what we have stock. The only problem I have right now is the H-techs I'm running are a bit soft, so they pretty much bottom out in hard corners and the rear sway will only exacerbate that. But hopefully I'll be getting some used TRD springs very soon.
