Hey all-

Been reading about the proplems you guys are having matching struts and springs to get more cornering power out of the P5. - and to lower it. I like the way my P5 sits stock - could be a little lower, but I need the suspension travel.

So, I have a question for e'smart ones. Are there aftermarket large sway bars for the P5? In the days of autocrossing old sports cars the larger bars really helped. The P5 rolls a little to much in the corners and with larger bars I could improve this and keep the rest of the suspension happy.

Oh, on tire wear. I have 9000 miles on my P5 and the fronts are half gone. I push it very hard through the corners - every corner(like the Man) and recommend lots of rotations.

Rains are here and driving a front driver in the rain is no fun...... Until I learned how to use the e-brake in corners to get the rear around

 

search "rear sway bar"

you should get plenty of results, good ones too

 

you can get the awr rear sway bar

Yeah, the AWR rear sway bar is pretty damn nice. Only complaints I have are the popping noises I keep getting from running stock struts which don't fit up 100% correctly.

I have pictures on my website if you'd like to see it installed.

 

How noticable were the changes in driving? BTW, did you get your bumber fixed as yet.

 

Driving stability was improved (the car likes to stay in a straight line better), body lean is hardly noticeable anymore. The front of the car still leans, however. If you push the car past the limit the back end will start to swing out.

I didn't get my bumper fixed yet, because I don't feel like paying my damn 250 deductible because I have to file through my insurance company. I'm waiting till after the holidays...

 

hmmm...tail whipping. Cool
