Yes, see pic on the previous page. Shocks are more inclined, sort of looks like the B6D tower, but not exactly the same.

Why would people sell their B6? There's not going to be a new car.

Because racers always have to have the latest and greatest even though they could upgrade their current car. If AE puts out a b6.1 I would bet there will be plenty of people that just buy the new car instead of making the upgrades.

Its almost always more cost effective for 50% people to move to a new car. And its not really a question of IF anymore with AE showing clear plastic proto parts on social media.

Yeah I don't get it. I would just get the new one and keep the old for my gf / backup / spare parts

Question would sway bars help on a med to high bite fairly smooth track help. And that's ^^^^^^^^just what we need more inserts to wear out and create more slop.

Nope. Only high traction like carpet you can substantially feel it working.

Don't listen to Phillip F.

If you want to try sway bars, then try them. Try just a thin bar at either end to see how they change the car.

I really like running a front sway bar to help the car in the middle of high speed corners.

I can't outdrive my B6. So no point in upgrading to the 6.1. Well unless there is an upgrade kit.

We run em when the grip isn't terribly high. You are right in the sense that you will notice much more of a difference the higher the grip is. But, they can still mellow out a car when the grip isn't as high.
