Stock for now, and likely forever. Unless squeeky squeeky.

Actually, I was more drawn to the bracket than the nipples.

Wait, what are we talking about again?

Nope. Not until after the summer tires go back on. Best guess will be early April.

Super weener.

I did swing by the mechanic's shop yesterday, btw. Haven't seen him and his crew since last May, so there was a big "cat dragged in" moment that was kind of fun. I popped the trunk and showed them the Eibachs.

Respecting the sways, LOL!

So next month, Ash. And after all this, I'll be sure to bump this thread and describe my impressions. After which, I'm looking forward to hearing whether or not Newt is happy with what the OEM Sport Sways does for his ride.

Torque settings, anyone? I believe from the FMS I have the following, but would like confirmation:
62 ft-lb, FSB end-links:
38 ft-lb, FSB frame-clamps

41 ft-lb, RSB end-links
33 ft-lb, RSB frame-clamps
Summer tread goes back on the car next Monday. Figure another week or two after that for the sways.

Newt... heads up for mid-April, buddy.
