Godspeed swaybars, any good ?

[Komba]

Does anyone have any experiences about those GSP swaybars that are for sale on EBay ?
Price is quite reasonable, and that's why I started to wonder if they are all toy spec that destroy my hachi's handling or a little upgrade to the old Stock ones

Swaybars are low low tech.

Only thing companies sometimes get wrong is the fit. So it might take some work with a drill, file etc to properly clearance all bushings and bolt holes to fit.

But becides that are they stiffer than the Stock ones ?
If they are abrovement to the handling i'm willing to fix those little problems, but if not i'll just save some more money and buy the whiteline ones. :wink:

The people who use the GS bars seem to like them a lot... in particular
the guys who are into drifting. There does not seem to be any technical
information available on how they stiff they are, but I would guess from
30% to 50% stiffer than the stock GTS bars. Have a read of this...

When I got my car it had been fitted with a heavy front bar, but still had
the OEM rear bar. On a twisting downhill road, braking into a corner, the
car DID NOT want to turn in It was positively dangerous, so I
installed an OEM front bar and the problem went away. The moral of the
story; install uprated bars at both ends if you want a flatter ride

First of all, thanks jondee86 for the lightening link, some of it was old news, but I have learned alot too. And ofcource I was going to change both swaybars, and some more suspension parts because they are, would I say, a little aged :wink:

And I have builded confidence from your responces and made a decision to buy these GSP ones, i'll let you guys know how they work when I get my hachi back on the road maybe after 5 years or so...
