I didn't install my front sway bar until last night, well that feels good. I know its also called a front stabilizer bar but it really change the feel of the front end. Driving at higher speeds the car feels much tighter. I don't know what I was thinking waiting this long to install it.
I have stock TBs and sway bar front with 165 rear springs in the rear and street orange koni's set on full soft, along with needle bearings . This thing finely rides nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) |

Schweeet! Did you already have U-tabs on your A-Arms or did you have to go the weld or bolt-on method? I've been thinking of adding a sway to my front and was looking at options.

Get a sway bar. I finally installed one and regret not doing it years ago. It really makes a huge difference.

Drive... your set-up sounds sweet. I love Koni's on soft with a stock bar. Perfect combo IMHO |

I've been thinking of adding a sway to my front and was looking at options. My car came from the factory with front and rear sway bars, I run only the front one. It did make a big difference all around. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) How ever you have to add the mounts I would for sure add one. Before I installed the bar the front end would muddle around on a bumpy surface, now it's 100% more stable and corners far better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

D-A.
Thanks for the update. Sounds like you are probably running the stock 15mm? I'm just a street guy so that would probably be fine. Now I need to find all the bits... |
