So i've got the KONI and Eibach spring setup....

with ECS adjustable tie bar for the back

i want to reduce understeer....

should i go with 19 or 22mm neuspeed rear sway??

TIA

Defcons FIRST then see what you think!

First of all, I have to say that this little part that Mike has made is a miraculous little piece of engineering and design. Thanks Mike for making this wonderful product available!

I had some other necessary suspension parts put on while waiting for the Defcons to be installed. My first impression rolling out of the driveway was that there was no difference. That did not last long as I got up to speed. The first notice was how much tighter the steering wheel feels. Of course the FWD drive has more front end weight, so it seems safe to say that the heavy feel also stems from this. The second thing to notice is that the car is taking the bumps better! Hard to believe this part could reduce NVH, but it certainly is doing the job quite well. I found a nice uphill twisty to test out more. Normally I would be going 45 through these turns, with the common understeer feedback. I was going 60mph with not a hint of understeer. The car just sauntered through the turns with ease.

I've been testing on some usual routes with a varity of driving obstacles, ie: bumps, railroad tracks, tight turns, rough concrete, joint expansions, etc...and in all of these, the car is planted, smoother, turns better and quicker, etc...Steering input is so much more enhanced with the Defcons, I have to pinch myself. It seems almost too good to be true. In a word, the mod is "amazing". I'm not inflating this whatsoever. The car just does not drive anything like before. It has taken on a completely new character much to my favor. The only bad feature I can see about the Defcons, is that things can be a little twitchy over a nicely rutted road, but then again, extra caution should also be addressed no matter what car is driven in this case.

I have nothing to say but great things for the Defcons. It really has renewed that initial spark that I had for the car when I bought it. In a nutshell, here are the key things I have noticed in summary:

1. steering wheel is tighter (almost like a tighter ratio steering rack was installed, [taking words from joe@vortex.com's review]). It gets heavier as speed increases. Virtually no play in the steering wheel.
2. Steering response greatly enhanced. It's really quite incredible and so much so, it's hard to put exactly into words, except that it's "quick".
3. NVH greatly reduced. Even with 18" profile setup, the TT handles the bumps better through all kinds of rough road surfaces. Even on smooth roads, tire noise seems to be less. Just amazing that this little adapter can achieve so much!
4. Flatter cornering. Understeer appears to be non-existent. I know this isn't possible given the nature of the FWD, but it sure feels like it.
5. Constant grin on face!

If you've been on the fence about getting this mod, just do it. I'll never go back to the sloppy, plowing MK2 bushing design...ever!

Nice writeup. Now, go wash your hair with your favorite shampoo, in my honor :P j/k
