92 sportline suspension tune - 08-26-2008, 10:55 PM

Hello,

I've got a 92 sportline with bilsteins all around and was wondering if anyone can make any suggestions to improve the handling. My 86 16v handles magnificently and have thought about buying and installing the 16v swaybars on the sportline. Thanks in advance.

have you taught about new tires. Poly bushings, or a front strut bar

Thinking about converting to a normal 2.3-16V Bodykit.

I've got new toyo t1r's all around. I'm more concerned about the amount of body roll the car has. It does not feel stable especially when driven aggresively. I'll look into poly bushings. Thanks.

There are very detailed articles in the suspension forum that will help you with your question. The first that comes to mind is the 500e front bar upgrade.

You could have a friend give you a ride (would never let you drive it) in a car with such a suspension.

The second choice would be the EvoII rear sway bar.

Yeah the 400E bar is only a 1mm off than the 500E bar. 28mm vs 29mm I believe. PM me if you want a 400E bar. You'll need to buy new bushings and maybe new brackets.

Are you sure about the dimensions of the 500E sway bar? A customer at the shop where I get my work done just ordered one and had it installed...it was supposed to be a 500E bar....27.7 mm approx. from recollection...btw this was the same bar as was already in the car a 320 CE. Maybe he got the wrong bar?

I'm in San Diego, CA. I think I'll start with different swaybars. I believe my sportline has sportier springs than stock. It's definitely lower.
