      what do you mean by you wouldn't be doing this if you saw how the bar was made. It's plenty sufficient for the car, though the mounting points allow for a lot of side to side movement. I know when I was doing passing drills with another car at Willow Springs, on turn 8 which is a high speed turn, the Aveo could only get up to 95 (120mph in my wifes Mazdaspeed, 110 in a few different WRX's) and the entire rear was moving back and forth... not the car, just the wheels and rear torsion assembly.

      A panhard bar or filling the rear mounts would do a lot for the handling of the Aveo.... if only my Aveo would get out of the shop so I can actually drive it again...

      If you can hit 115 ANYWHERE on Willow Springs Big track, your aveo is much more the car than mine... I could only hit 95 at the most... my Lanos would hit 105 on the straight, going from a .32 to .35 CD really shows at 80+ MPH when you only have 110hp.

      I got the part from LeagelChopshop.com if i got the part at a local yard i would have paid over $500 and i would have had to pull it myself. i paid $286 Shipped from IN. to CA.

      BTW My Aveo Tops out at 117mph it takes me at least a mile to get up to that speed on the freeway it also needs to be flat straight and smooth so if you are saying that your aveo is going 115 in a 1/4 mile i want to see that with my own eyes. have someone film it and shoot the times on your next time out to prove it.
      You did WHAT? to your Aveo? HAHAHAHAHA

      I have a Daytona with t3 turbo and 550 injectors that pulls 126 in the quarters, so if someone is going that fast that quickly in an aveo I would have to say they're full of ****.

      I never said it hit 115 in 1/4 mile, that would be literally impossible. It takes just about half the road I live on, over a mile for sure.
