    When did the bar go out of production? I bought mine on summit racing a couple summers ago. Here's my suspension thread incase you hadn't seen it. Looks like we've got quite a few of the same mods. The car does handle SO much better. It's crazy fun to drive. Freaks the wife out haha

    It should bolt up fine.

    I bought the GMPP rear bar, installed it, then uninstalled it and sold it because I was so incredibly disappointed with it.

    I had the dorman front (with poly inners and links), addco rear, Vogtlands and Bilstein HDs. Fun car. Still don't know about this oversteer the OP is talking about though. I'd say it was well balanced more than anything else.

    Jegs had "one" and now its gone... The 4-6 week lead time is summit ordering it fresh from Adco.

    And yeah, lol, car has UNDERSTEER, not over... And tightening the REAR will help alleviate, but not eliminate the problem.

    I might have been the one to order the last Jegs one, at least ebay says it's confirmed with a expected delivery of 2\10. You guys were talking about LCAs and such. Have you looked into the Moog Problem solver vertical bushings? It's basically a joint, but protected from the elements. I just ordered mine from Rockauto for ~$20 a piece.

    I'm going from GMPP rear to Addco rear sway, those Moog bushings, poly rear LCA bushings, new ball joints, new tie rods, all solid motor mounts, and Vogtlands. I already have Dorman front sway and T\As, Front rear STBs, new struts and new bearings. Needless to say I'm hoping I have a totally different car when I'm done, lol.

    Front and rear bars, front and rear braces, and performance trailing arms are your biggest upgrades.

    I'm thinking these LCA bushings could possibly fall into that category too. Check out the video on them:


    I know Dezebe1 has them as well, but not install yet.

    Already ordered and on their way. I've done them before on my Civic with Energy Poly bushings, the EXACT same setup. That was fun. We'll see how bad this is. I'm gonna see if I can call in some favors with someone who has a press.

    I'm thinking if you get the old ones removed then even a shop shouldn't charge you to much to press some in. Debating doing this with the new ones I have on the way but would hate to ruin brand new CA lol

    Control arm bushings are FANTASTIC gives a totally different feel to the car. I'm in the midst of the Addco install now, here's some of my comparison pics from my build thread, it includes the stock sway as well:
    stock on top, GMPP in the middle, Addco on the bottom:

    Addco on the left, GMPP in the middle, stock on the right:

    AA battery for reference, first stock, then GMPP, then Addco:



    Oh and the install is A ***** for me for some reason. The holes for the endlinks are too small so I had to ream them out a bit with the bar already in the car. Must just be my luck, they're Moog endlinks.

    The holes were a tad small for me as well. 20 seconds with a drill took care of it.

    I don't really have a shed so it was having to run an extension cord outside and all that BS, and I didn't have the right size drill bit, so yea...no worries though. It's all in now, but I have yet to test drive since I have to go to stupid work.
