I have a stock power 2014 Track Pack with Boss 302 Laguna Seca shocks on it. I still feel like there's too much roll compliance in the rear. This car is my daily/commuter and it gets about 50 miles of highway a day. I drive around all day long with the shocks set to 5/5.

However, I'm on stock Track Pack/Brembo 255 Pirellis and I worry that if I go to the 25mm Boss 302 bar, the car will get hairy to drive. I'm considering that bar specifically because I can get one new for like 80 bucks. Is this a viable option or should I just go front and rear bars.

Please note, I'd like to stay with a stock style bar because some point in the future, I'd like to add a Fays 2 Watts link and I already have to worry about the Boss finned diff cover clearance. Any ideas folks?

An adjustable one would be best, let you dial it in.

For the price you might just try the Boss bar, sell it if you don't like it.

Adjustable might be better, do you have the stock LS springs, if so you might want to switch to some stiffer springs instead.

That's just the problem. I like the way the car rides and handles with the LS shocks and springs.


I pulled the trigger last night. Will report back once I get the bar on the car. Hopefully it'll stiffen up the roll without making the car too free. I might dial the shocks down in the back to compensate as well.

Try running 4 or 5 front and 2 rear. I made that switch and you have to deal with a little bouncing since the rebound/compression is a little low, but hitting a bump mid corner doesn't cause the car to kick sideways. Also I was suggesting springs since they not only work similar to the sway but also stop brake dive and rearend lift where as the sway just counteracts the weight transfer from side to side.

UPDATE: Got the sway bar on. Car is no more hairy than it was before. The roll is dialed down perfectly for my street driving style. Better turn in, which I greatly appreciate. For 80 bucks and an hour install, I'd say it was definitely worth it. I've got the shocks set to 2 all around because my commute involves some nasty surfaces, but I've tried it at 5 and the car felt just about perfect.
