With the addition of the sway bar, it appears I got some of the speed back from the car. After another brief scare with the datalogs, I was able to see the new sway bar allow me to put down power quicker. It also gave me the confidence to drive deeper and faster. At the end of the day, I spent nearly $3000 on this. Is it worth it? Absolutely not, I think I should have put my money on a some r6 instead. I am sure the difference would be greater at handling tracks like sonoma, but it is what it is. I had fun at least.
