Thanks, I'll check them out!

 

Closed for holiday.. I tried ordering one as well.

 

I just finished ordering a rear sway bar & in the description it says 69% increase in the outer hole ( raceDrving) & 39% in the outer hole (street driving). What does this mean? I'm assuming you can't install in the inner hole for daily driving. Is this correct? Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

I meant to say "39% stiffer in the “street“ setting (outer hole), and 64% stiffer in the “race“ setting (inner hole)"
Thanks for any help.

 

It means it's stiffer when using the inner hole.

By using the inner hole, the bar increases it's rigidity. IE: giving you more over-steer. This is considered a "race" setting (not sure why, as it's misleading).

It's just two levels of stiffness. Street and Race. Where Race is giving you a stiffer setting. (more over-steer characteristics.

 

Thanks. Which setting do you recommend?

 

It's a personal preference. You may not like the race setting. Or you may want more oversteer than the street setting offers.

Try them and see what you like better.

Otherwise, I'm not sure the TRD Sway Bar is adjustable. (the topic of the thread)

 

can someone do a DIY? i have my sway bar sitting in my back seat because i dont know how to install it. i have an 06 xA if that helps

 

It's really EZ to do. It literally justs bolts right up to the torsion bar.

 

The TRD and Progress are real easy compared to the Whiteline one.

 

i have no idea what s torsion bar is. can someone plese help me?

 

What kind are you getting that's adjustable?

The TRD is adjustable if you can call it that. There are 2 bolt holes depending on how stiff you want it. Track or Street.

 

Are you sure the TRD bar is adjustable? It does have two holes, but the installation instructions don't state anything about it being for stiffness adjustment.

You must use both (two) holes on each side of the bar (4 hbolts total) to properly install. This is the reason I don't think it's adjustable. As you must use all four holes/bolts.

With an adjustable bar, you must select one OR the other hole. Not both.

 

Actually I just jacked up my xA to check this out. There is only one way to install the sway bar. That was what I thought when I first put the bar on my car but all this talk prompted me to check it out. I believe the xB has the option for two settings but the xA (at least mine) does not.

 

ah, thank you!

 

My bad. I must have gotten bad info on there being more than 1 set of holes. Unless I know for sure I'm not passing on bad info. anymore. Sorry

 

There are 3 holes on each side but there is only one way to line up the bolt pattern.

 

That must be so it will fit multiple applications.
