i have a 6MT and I am ok with the ride height and ride quality. but i do want to reduce some of the lean in turns. I do track day maybe 4 to 5 times a year.

should i simply go for adjustable sway instead of coilover? whats the ballpark figure for f & r sway with installation?

Once I went over the hill, there was this huge mattress/wooden structure staring me right in the face, so I swerved to the left quickly. What started happening is that my driver's side tires started to spin out when i swerved, so I tried correcting my swerve, but my back tires have already fishtailed, because my AWD system couldn't handle a big change in tire direction after that and all my tires were spinning in different speeds. Then, I did a full 360 and ended up stopping right at the left lane before the barrier. AWD system, while it helps, isn't perfect.

You can spin out on the highway if you swerve fast enough. Also, if I got a set of 18's or 19's, the rims would go bad almost immediately because of lower profile tires and there are so many potholes here.

Anyways, I got my Hotchkis Sway Bars 22443 for $360 shipped. Is that a good price?

However, as you've probably noted in my recent thread, my fronts have already gone out. I've had the Eibach Sways on the car for about a year, with a few laps at the track mixed in.

You have Whiteline, SPL and ModMe (Myg37 thread) for rear options. I have ModMe's and it's working out quite well so far. There is only SPL for the front, but every V36 user who's had them have complained about the noise from the Heim joints.

The sways and beefier endlinks will help with minimizing lean, for sure. But it probably wouldn't have avoided your spin-out on the freeway. It sounds to me like there was a bit of oversteer in your case, possibly coupled with less grippy tires. Granted, when you properly set-up the sways, you can change the characteristics of the vehicle to add a bit more understeer. (see chart)

Remember, too, that the more you tighten up the suspension, the grippier the tires you need to make the most out of it, otherwise the tires will give up faster since the suspension has no slack.

FWIW, i have been in contact with a manufacturer to develop adjustable fronts for us, but there's nothing else to report other than that yet.

They also have the fronts. Hopefully this helps someone who might be looking for both front and rear.
