Torque Forward for Strut Tower Brace and Rear Tie Bar.

I think all of the standard springs for the RL are about the same, I THINK B&G and Eibach get the best reviews. I have the Eibachs and like them very much.

I have the B&G's and I am completely satisfied. Torque forward bars are a must! Cynic makes really good stuff.

So Spoon,

Does your car torque hard lifting the left front corner more so than the right front corner when you are running hard in 1st thru 4th gear? I get the torque twist, rear suspension loading, feel with my bone stock '06 suspension which gets a bit upset when I jump off the pipe abruptly. It appears the stock spring rate is a bit too soft, but the car rides stiff possibly from too much compression dampening in the struts? What is your setup for the track if you don't mind mentioning it? Stock strut's & springs can't be all that good.

Thanks,
Mike

I get this happening to me all the time. Bars help a bit but not much! It sucks and happens all the time on the highway or when I dump the clutch...

the u race cars subframe rail will help with that a lot. They stop just about all the twist you are feeling.

Actually, on track, the stock suspension does pretty well... The stock springs are progressive rate, and will allow a bit of roll to a point, and then the stiffen up pretty well. I'm just running the stock struts and the Eibachs. Waiting to get the coilovers.
