So I ordered both front and rear sway bars for my '19 GT1 and I was wondering about torqueing the end links.
The specs I found on kstinger.com show the following:
Front stabilizer bar to sub frame: 36.2 - 47.0 ft/lbs
Front stabilizer bar to front stabilizer link: 72.3 - 86.8 ft/lbs
Rear stabilizer bar to sub frame 36.2 - 47.0 ft/lbs
Rear stabilizer bar to stabilizer link 72.3 - 86.8 ft/lbs
Did everyone else torque their end links that high? I've only ever done sway bars on an old Firebird and it's torque was way lower than that (around 20ft/lbs I think)
Based on those numbers I was going to torque to 40-42ft/lbs on the subframe and 80ft/lbs on the end links.
Also, what settings is everyone running? I was thinking stiff in the rear and soft up front based on what I've seen on the forum, but I know Eibach says the stiff setting in the rear is dangerous when wet. Was wondering if others have that experience.
Also, Is torqueing the end links with the suspension loaded necessary? I can't find a straight answer on the internet.
If so, how do I do that with the car on jackstands? Can I jack up the diff?
