mval Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 dave- like it. on the sway bar, the chally guys are huge into them under the hood, but really don't see that much use unless tracking the car. as i said before the sho is a vastly superior car to any of the dodges when it comes to handling. since i don't drive it much it's real obvious to me. got to get he out this weekend, weather supposed to be nice, weather been so bad she's just snuggled up to battery tender.

Black00Betty Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 With the sway bar I would say it's useful with spirited driving. I like doing the occasional canyon run and I take off ramps fairly aggressively/spiritedly. I found that it helps rotate the car and with some trail braking the front end really bites in so you can put the car right where you want it.

mjhpadi Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Nice buy Dave. Can't go wrong with the improved sway bar! I agree with you, much better use of mod money then replacing wheels and tires that are in great shape and working well. Besides, by waiting maybe someone will come out with a wheel that you really are in love with and you can put on tires when these are worn. However, I do like Todd's idea of replacing tires every 3 years and selling the used tires, sure would help lessen the replacement cost and keep new rubber on your vehicle!

DaveE Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Thanks! Can't wait to try it. Should even the rear end with the tower brace upfront. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveE Posted January 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 No maybes about it now. Got a date with a lift Saturday. Meeting a good friend and we're gonna throw that baby in! Pictures will be taken. SHOdded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHOdded Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Amazing what a simple piece of hardware can do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveE Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Yeah, between the thicker, stronger material of the bar itself and the stiffer bushings/grommets, it should reduce rear sway noticeably. I should be able to tell the difference driving two hours down and two hours back today. Edited January 21, 2017 by DaveE SHOdded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveE Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Got the Steeda Rear Sway Bar in today. I can feel the difference. Rear doesn't sway as much at all. Very happy with it. The install was smooth and easy. SHOdded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveE Posted January 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I think I'm gonna order these tomorrow. With BFG Comp 2 AS 245/35/20. SHOdded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOdded Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Gonna be a winning combo with that wheel & tire. Love the BFGs on our '10 Sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveE Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 When I finally got to the point of no return, I decided to go with the TSW Chicane. I like a little brightness in a wheel. The dark just don't suit me. I think these will look pretty sharp. tss, tokyorick79 and SHOdded 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOdded Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Since you have not plastidipped or otherwise blacked out the bright on the car, I would wholeheartedly agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black00Betty Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Looking forward to the new shoes! It's going to look great. Happy you went with the rear sway bar! Should be a decent improvement. Are you planning on doing any exhaust? Even a muffler replacement with some flashy tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveE Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Thanks! I may do a muffler replacement some day. But, I really like it quiet. The real music comes from up front. Maybe a little more growl out back. I still have some concerns about the flaps in the stock muffler. I don't want to swap mufflers if those flaps are helping me spool up. Maybe catless downpipes and stock muffler. That combo worked great on the SHO. One thing I'd like to do is EBC Yellowstuff pads.

DaveE Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) I got them put on tonight. I will have pictures tomorrow. Need to clean her up a bit since the weather has been so crummy lately. I will say that handling, along with the strut brace and RSB is really, really great! Just a flick of the wheel has amazing response. Now, I am looking into springs. Contacted Steeda tonight.
