Does the stiff plate make the steering feel heavier? I just did the rear Spoon sway bar and Spoon front stiff plate and made the steering feel super heavy. Would like to know if you guys felt the same. Front stiff plate might be too much for daily driving as the steering response Feel like you are on R mode on Comfort setting.

The rear ARB will have a greater effect on steering than the stiff plate. I always tell people don’t get a rear ARB until you’ve tracked the car and get a feel for it on the limit.

I too was thinking the rear bar at first, but maybe its the combination of both the rear bar and stiff plate working in conjunction. Stiff plate should make the steering more rigid because if reduce flex.

Complete your setup with a Spoon front sway bar and get the Spoon rigid collars as well if you don’t already have them. The whole setup (sway bars/stiff plate/rigid collars) works well together.

The front sway bar is the same size as the stock from what I'm reading, so is the advantage from the two holes the sway bar has that add the 130% and 136% stiffness?

Spoon is slightly bigger at 30mm and yes, offers two stiffness increases 130% and 136%. I’m using the Spoon endlinks as well.

It's only 0.8 mm larger, but are you lowered 40MM or more? I guess that's their recommendation for running their end links.

Yes, I’m right around 40mm lower.
