Does anyone have any experience with these parts? Almost everything from Alta seems to be of the best quality, so I was wondering if anyone has installed these parts and what their feedback is.

I have their rear bar. Good stuff. To be honest there are also other good sway bars.

I, too, have the Alta rear sway-bar, and enjoy it thoroughly. But I really doublt i'd be able to tell the difference between the Alta and the Madness or a comparable product.

Dunno about the springs.

the 19 or 22 mm?

obehave · Apr 23rd, 2004, 01:17 PM

22mm. On the soft setting.
Works well for me.

22mm bar, firm setting - excellent. However, H-Sport 25mm with zirc fittings is also good. However, it is blue so is non-stealth.
15% pulley - no problems, good performance increase
alta intake - without bigger tube. small performance improvement, but no problems

A 15% reduction pulley. Smaller diameter, turns the SC faster, more boost, more power, more fun.
