same set up different results..

i was just wondering because i just installed tokico blues w/ eibach sportlines on my vic.it's stiff compared to stock and handles really good. now
my buddy has the same exact setup...and for some reason his is a lot more stiffer and u can barely notice the body roll. like he has a sway bar installed on it.but he doesn't.we both have front strut bars. but he has a rear lower tie bar(unbranded probably ebay)
...don't know if that helps?does it? or can it be different spring rate for the sportlines? i don't think so!!!

oh jus asking, but jus brake it in and you ride will feel much better after. another way of braking it in alittle faster is having your friends ride with you like pack the car or so or how about you get a fat man in there and have um bounce up and down jus joking........

Do you mean front or rear sway bar? Also what year is your car and what year is his car?

do you both have the same car? like EX/EX, cause the EX has a front "sway bar" where the LX and DX dont. that might be it.
