i believe it's the one furthest away from the end of the sways. the idea is to disable flex as much as possible?

As to whether or not your exhaust will hit one or more parts of the 6-link kit, that again is an answer that varies by exhaust as each manufacturer has selected different points to place curves in the pipes and different mufflers with varying inlet points. The only way to know is to try it or ask someone who has tried it.
yes that's correct, i was more saying from general point of view. from the exhausts i have seen so far, the 6 links just dont' like most of them, haha

Yes, that was what I thought too- due to the lever action of the end of the sway bar, it will be more resistant to twist or flex if it is "shorter" by using the first hole.

Update:

I finally let my hair down and pushed it a little more yesterday. Didn't go out there on the ragged edge at the Dragon or anything, but pushed it a little on the way home.

MUCH MUCH better. Now the rear end feels like before, planted. No more squirrels!!!!

I'm still thinking seriously about the Toms RLCB anyway. If it makes it even better than this w/o compromising the ride.......it's probably worth it then.

Just give in and get it bro! I have it on my car (not the same comparison to yours obviously), but my car feels very planted.

You can get it here - http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=444

i would agree with the others , you will feel the rear is firmly planted... i upsized the rear tires to 285/30 and wow what a diff in rear end stability and driving comfort i gained not to mention a very pronounced rear stance..


henry did you get your front toms piece yet ,,, Ya know need it and Ya know you want it
