Installed new front sway bar bushings.

These Honda ones are so soft...

I did notice a difference in handling now.

Not entirely. The OEM bushings are made of rubber and do get softer overtime. However, the ones I have are TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) which are stiffer and harder.

Well this was yesterday

Took Betty white new *** down the 1/4mile just two passes.

Car number: 3637

Run 1: 15.48 @ 90



Run 2: 15.22 @ 91



No adjustment were done to my car.
No launch was done either. Left like I was at a street light and just rolled on into it.

Car drove to track--down track twice--drove home not one issue!

All and all great evening with the crew!

Car will for sure go into 14s stock not one issue at all with that. The power and torque is there.

There was RR FG4 there with maybe I/ exhaust was going high 15s :confused:

Maybe was having traction issue.

Making the car wait for 30k. Roll around the block and it rolls over and I'm making it sit there.
