Hi All

On track, Grimace rolls a fair bit more than I'd like. Has anyone upgraded to Cusco sway bars (front and/or rear)? Did you get a satisfactory reduction in roll or would you recommend going for a more stiff solution?

I won't be doing more than a few track days a year, so this isn't for anything super serious in terms of track use

I have cusco bars in mine. It helped a bit but spring rates and damper changes will give you more change.
Especially as the tein flex that you have are only 8k front 5k rear. Going to something like 10/8 or even 12/10
But as with anything increasing roll/spring stiffness will have an adverse effect on ride quality. As those flex teins are pretty plush all things considered.

When i win lotto ill be getting MCAs for mine

Yeah I'm super happy with the Teins at their current spring rates. So nice for the street so not really willing to compromise there

Yeah horses for courses. I know cusco started discontinuing certain 8G stuff a while back. Not sure about the sway bars though.
