    To do aftermarket front sway bar or not to do? 93 vr4

    Need some input and feedback on whether or not if I should do an aftermarket front sway bar on my vr4. I already have the rear done, but I want the car to be as solid feeling as possible. I have a sunroof and for some reason my car feels a bit "twistie" going over bumps. I know a rear will make the car more fun (oversteer), will doing the front make it neutral or understeer a lot more?

    I know people have mentioned that the N/A sway bars are not as stiff as the tt, which would have some benefit. My stock bushings are not in bad shape, but will do poly when 3sx finally makes a set available for front and rear.
    CAUTION: Over Boosting May Cause Accidental Orgasm.

    Did you do the front sway bar, or just the poly bushings? 3sx is working on developing a kit for front and rears, I know they use to sell a kit in the past.

    If you are worried about chassis flex, strut tower bars would be a better choice. Sway bars will essentially stiffen the springs when you are cornering.

    already have front and rear strut bars, interesting info. I may just do it if I find a used front, but for now Ill stick with the rear.

    Does anyone know if the N/A front sway bar will work on the vr-4? I read somewhere that they are similar, except that the N/A bar is less beefier. This would make it less understeery with the addition of the rear bar.

    I would not down-grade to a N/a bar. IMO the stock tt front sway bar barely tames the body roll of a TT, the N/a would be just terrible. I converted to a N/a AWD and had the FWD front sway bar. I was able to win 1st in my class at the NG13 autoX with the stock tt rear, N/a front sways. IMO i had too much body roll and not enough negative camber up front. If anything I would stay with a stock TT front and addco rear bar. I believe that would be a good set up with some tein S-tech's. Im currently running TT front and rear sways.

    By NA sway bar I meant the addco NA sway bar which is 1 inch thick and a little less beefy than the AWDSOLDIER version. Should have been more clear.

    This thread kinda died but sparked my interest.
