The graphite motor guard never made much sense to me....it'd be placed below the point of impact for a serious side collision anyway..so I really don't see the point in having it there...

In the meantime, just wanted to let you know that yoursarcasm is oh-so appreciated

Is there a website for PRS. Teameamotorsports.com didn't have 116 (or at least on their site) does PRS pretty much have a full range of spurs?

Thanks.

Quick Question: I am installing a front sway bar 1.5mm. One side has a flat groove in it. Is that the side that goes up when I mount it?


Also I have never installed one before. Do I just set the car up regular then just install the sway bar. Or do install the sway bar and then recheck tweak or other things? Anyone..

Set your car up without the sway bar, install the sway bar, and then check everything again. Also, before installing the sway bar, make sure it's flat, and not bent, and make sure that your sway bar mounts are the same length on both sides. This has always worked for me in the past.

Alright..Thanks Rob.

I just set up everything and then added the sway bar. Nothing changed. Not the ride height or tweak or anything. I guess thats a good thing.

One more question: About the sway bar. How far do you slide the silver collars on are they supposed to be flush with end?

You adjust the collars depending on how much tension you want added to the bar - the closer you move the collars in (towards the shock tower) the greater the tension. I would start flush with end of the bar and adjust appropriately - make sure you have clearance as well ... sometimes the collars binds with the drive axle.
