Shouldn't you have done your research before you bought everything?

Had a rear STB previously installed and just ordered the OMP front STB, BAT 22mm rear sway bar




It's 21mm, and you'd be better off with the Aussie bar under many circumstances (esp. auto-x)

Bad tuner, no cookie! You want to get the smaller swaybar from the SVT to get rid of understeer. Too much roll stiffness up front hurts getting poer down and promotes understeer. Do a search of this site on the topic, and read "How to make your car handle" by Puhn. Then come back and we'll talk. Bigger is not always better.

and any additional assistance on possible components that would help in building the best suspension possible on this car. Any input would be appreciated.




Best for what? What kind of racing are you doing? Drag, auto-x, road course HPDE? And the best for anything would cost more than you are willing to spend, and require replacing a bunch of those brand-new parts you just got. You really want to make your car handle better? Get rid of those 22.5lb wheels.
