Do both! Posted by turrbo [Email] (#8) [Profile/Gallery] (more from turrbo) on Sat, 17 Sep 2005 22:19:34 In Reply to: 9000 swaybars..., nathanb, Fri, 16 Sep 2005 22:23:27 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I'll echo that it was the best upgrade I've done. It completely changed the handling characteristics of the car. I swear it feels better than a stock Aero that I almost bought, and I have stock CS springs, so-so tires and 15" Super CS wheels.
I think if you do just the rear you won't be happy with the oversteer. I guess it really makes it pretty bad, almost to the point of being a little unnerving.
The point of sway bars anyway is to eliminate body roll, which it really did. I find myself taking exit ramps at 55/60mph that I used to take at like 45/50.
Oh and do poly for the front swaybar bushings as well. SAS sends you a front/rear kit when you buy the bars. One other thing I'd recommend is switching to urethane front control arm bushings. Apparently the thicker bars will wreak havoc on the stock ones. IIRC, I went with Powerflex ones.
Good luck and enjoy this mod!!
