I will most likely run the Perrin on Medium as well as that's the rating I would have run on the Whiteline.

Perrin on Meduim is what I run for AutoX, if you run the Perrin on hard setting, the car feels a bit to loose to be fast on the course (this is with the stock suspension). The hard setting does make for some rather fun drift action, Yo! ;P

That's good to know!

Whoah , swaybar drama! They're a PITA like anything else, I'm with you on the '...except for me' stuff, as stuff always seems to happen. Never had a swaybar not fit though, that is def a first!

Also, I think your car should be 'DeadmauX' (pronounce it dead moux or whatever), seeing 'Deadmau5X' always throws me into 'dead mau 5 X and that is just blargypoo.

Hah, or you could not just steal techno dude's name for your car, what if he owns an evoX? What will he call it?

Rmondoh · 12-05-2010

I think he will be just fine...I mean he named his cat Meowingtons. I can't even imagine what he would name his evoX, lol!

UPDATE!

So UPS delivered the defective Whiteline rear sway bar yesterday. I took the 1st one out of my trunk, opened up the box I got, and stuck it in there so they could come back and pick it up today. As it turns out, they delivered my Perrin rear sway bar today AND picked up the return package! Awfully nice of them.

So I open up the Perrin and it looks great. Nice, red, and shiny. So I open up the bushing and saddle kit and process to assemble it to see how it will all look. Check it out below!

This looks nice!

So does this end!

Wait, that doesn't look right...

This side looks perfect!

So what's wrong with this side?

This looks good to me!

....FML

But at least this side looks good!

There is no way I'm even going to try and put this bar on. If that one side doesn't even let the bushing sit flush with me just putting it on there and moving it to hit the stopper tab, there's no way it's going to fit properly on the car. It looks like that stopper was welded on at an angle, thus not allowing the bushing to sit flush. *sigh*

Looks like another email is going out to Bill at MAP with pictures showing that this one is not going to fit either. Now I know I haven't tried putting it on, but honestly with pictures and fitment looking like that, I really don't think I should even waste time trying to put it on.

You guys running the Perrin RSB on the X, did yours fit or look like this? Do you remember at all? Should I at least try to put it on once before I write Bill back?

Thoughts and comments please?

**scheides** · 12-07-2010

Just put it on, not like a ton of torque is going to be put against that stopper. I bet you'll forget about it once its on and you drive the car

simulatedwood · 12-07-2010

Mine must have been an older version as it didnt even have the stops welded on each side. Honestly when you bolt this thing down the one side will straighten out I bet you wont even notice its static state. The bar will move a bit side to side, so the tightness may not matter much. I say try it at least.

I would just elongate the holes in that bushing holder with a dremel until it bolts up. Screw quality parts that fit right away. Working for the prize is so much more enjoyable.

Edit...

**Kracka** · 12-08-2010

I vote we at least try installing it. Wouldn't hurt to shoot these pictures to Perrin though and see what they have to say about it.

A//// Guy · 12-08-2010

I bet it was designed that way. Bushings on the bar without even attaching it, arent going to line up perfect the way you think it willl. The car will suck the bushing into place if its supposed to be up against that flat side.

Most sway bars dont even have that welded flat side on the bar at all.

**Kracka** · 12-11-2010

We got it on last night followed up by some ghetto Mexican tacos

Fitment was ultra close, had that anti-walk tab been any further off there is no way the bar would have fit. It just barely fit, but it did end up fitting nearly perfectly with a little force. The driver's side bushing is jammed up against the tab, but the passenger side is nearly 1/2" away; if they're not going to be positioned properly they might as well just leave them off since it would have made installation much smoother.

From a few texts late last night it sounds like Armando is happy! He mentioned being able to carry extra speed into a corner he regularly takes. For those who care, we put it on the medium setting which is roughly equivalent to the Whiteline soft setting. Another thing, I was shocked at how much lighter the Perrin bar is compared to the Whiteline!

**goodhart** · 12-11-2010

So, with it not fitting right, is the bushing sqaushed in there? Whats gonna stop it from eating bushings like your whiteline did?

**Kracka** · 12-11-2010

It actually squashed in nearly perfectly, it just took a lot of force to get it there. I will be shocked if this ever needs to come apart. I'm sure Armando will get under there and snap a few pics in the daylight.

My Whiteline bushing damage was a separate issue related to reusing the stock saddles; Whiteline has since sent me revised saddles and the correct bushings.

That's correct. I wanted to take some pictures of it installed before I update. I've been running errands this morning and am just about to put up the Christmas lights, so once I get some time either today or tomorrow, I'll get under there, take some pics, and update everyone.
