• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

no more evo swaybar

Hi All
Trust this may help clarify things. Black one below is RT, orange one is RS/GS. I have both in stock. RT is a couple of mm larger in diameter and shorter.

2011 RS OEM vs EVO RS

Here is a comparison of the 2011 RS OEM and the EVO RS model sway bars. Not much difference in diameter, 17/32" OEM vs 9/16" for the EVO. The shape is considerably different. Also notice the additional clamps on the OEM which, I believe, were to prevent the sway bar from moving laterally.

The bends on the EVO bar position it, like the clamps or bosses on the stock bar. The bends also stiffen the torsion bar, making it twist over a shorter length.

Perhaps that's why the RS Evo sway bar works better than the RT Evo sway bar which relies solely on a larger diameter for greater stiffness rather than a bend.

I still have not put mine back on. If anyone is interested $125 including shipping within US. Will put it back on this weekend if no sale.
