Stony and RB26DETT would be your sources for RB26 swaps. Anything regarding paint/body would be RacerX, and any road racing would go to johnc.
anyone that comes up with really odd guano, that would be me, I think
it probably does, but on the sway bar the tension is spaced more evenly than pressure in one specific area. highest point of tension is probably at the bends that form the elongated |________| shape
i have 200lb springs all around, 1" front swaybar, pu bushings, and tokico illuminas. with tokicos set on 1-3, daily driving is manageable, some bumps a bit stiff. at 5, it's not pleasant one bit! it all depends on the person though.
looks like he welded on tabs to the end brackets of the bar, and made custom endlinks. The setup is very similar to the setup of the suspension techniques rear sway bar. looks great!
if you know anyone that has a Z with camber plates welded in, have them take you for a ride to find out how stiff the ride is without the shock tower insulators. It's quite a bit stiffer - definitely a more jittery ride
terry: i assumed the original poster wanted a streetable daily driver on a budget, so I skipped the swaybars
get msa lowering springs (or tokico lowering springs) that are a bit stiffer, along with some new struts (kyb or tokico blue). replace your bushings with polyurethane. get new balljoints and tie rods
bushings kit - 136 from summit
balljoints + tierods - about 160
springs - $180
