Closer to the middle of the bar is stiffer since no one seemed to want to answer your question.

The car feels a lot more "under control" with the MD sways. Feels solid in the turns and when changing lanes while accelerating. Part of that is probably because I stiffened the front up compared to how I ran the Stillens.

I definitely love the way the MD sways stiffen up the car. It's a totally different car especially since I fixed my compression rod bushings too

These came in the mail today, kind of an experiment as I don't know many guys running them. They are built for negative camber only and can not adjust positively.... so we'll see.

Front A arms in case you dunno what you're looking at.




And kinda old news, but I picked up my wheels from my shipping depot in the states...... and they're awesome. Don't flip out though, they're 11.5s not 12.5s lol

Teaser pics aren't ghey, the just plain suck. And Blain, I'd be concerned that the weld on those camber arms where the head joins the arm might not stand up well to hard driving. Just my $.02.......

They've been tested on a handful of heavily drifted Z and the welds are almost identical to those of the S13/S14, Megan is a huge name in the S chassis world and used on almost every car.

As I said, I am still somewhat skeptical of them so we'll see how it goes, if I break them or they're crap I'll get rid of them and buy the SPLs. But I like these as they pull ONLY negative camber lol

However I also think the SPL front arms are heavy heavy over kill integrity wise. The A arms don't have a tonne of stress on them as the strut isn't directly mounted to them. Therefore suspension stress is really just on the lower control arms.

Oh also, that piece isn't just a flimsy piece it's cut triangular lower portions that are welded to the bar as well.

So those Megan A arms wont work to correct negative camber and toe? My front tires wear out too fast on thr inside. I need to get A arms that can correct that

^ negative, they do not correct negative camber, they only add to it.

They are intended for drifting.

The guy I bought them off thought they did the same thing, installed them and then figured out they don't correct.... so sold em to me

Damaged 05-06 headlights (one from Blain and the other from eBay), I need them for parts; re-doing my retrofit. Such a pain finding these for a decent deal, you 03-04 guys have it lucky!

Copped a pair of 20mm spacers, going to see how they fit with OEM Q wheels and with the Espiler springs I also got (full set). Also got Tein Basics springs for the rears so I might do a mixed setup with the Espilers. Tired of being OEM height.
